A number between 100 and 200 is 19 times the sum of its digits. The tens digit is 3 more than the units digit. Find the number.

Given that the number is between 100 and
200,


Then the number is a three digit
number.


Then, the hundreds digit is
1.


==> Let the number be  x such that "a" is the
tens and "b" is the
units.


Then,


x = 100 + 10a + b
..............(1)


Given that 19 times the sum of the digits
= x


==>19( 1 + a + b) =
x...............(2)


==> 19(1+ a + b) = 100 + 10a +
b


==> 19 + 19a + 19b = 100 + 10a
+b


==> 9a + 18b =
81


Divide by 9:


==> a +
2b = 9................(3)


Also, given that the tens digit =
3 more that the units.


==> a = 3 +
b


We will substitute into
(3)


==> (3+b) + 2b =
9


==> 3 + 3b =
9


==> 3b = 6


==>
b = 2


==> a = 3+ b = 3+2 =
5


==> a =
5


Then the number is: x =
152


To
check:


152 = 19 * (1+5
+2)


152 = 19 * 8


152 = 52

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
