Answer 1

5=tens 9=units

Explanation:

I think its this

Answer 2

The tens digit = 5

The units digit = 9

The two digit number is 59

Explanation:

Let the tens digit be represented by x

The units digits be represented by y

In a two-digit number, the units digit is six less than three times the tens digit.

y = 3(x) - 6

y = 3x - 6

Four times the units digit minus five times the tens digit equals 11.

4(y) - 5(x) = 11

4y - 5x = 11

We substitute

4(3x - 6) - 5x = 11

12x - 24 - 5x = 11

Collect like terms

12x - 5x = 11 + 24

7x = 35

x = 35/7

x = 5

y = 3x - 6

y = 3(5) - 6

y = 15 - 6

y = 9

Hence,

The tens digit = 5

The units digit = 9

The two digit number is 59
