A two-digit number is such that the product of the digits is 8. When 18 is added to the number, then the digits are reversed. The number is :_________?
Correct answer: B. 24
- A. 18
- B. 24
- C. 42
- D. 81
Explanation
The digit product 8 allows the two-digit arrangements 24 and 42. Testing the reversal condition, 24 + 18 = 42, so 24 is the required number, whereas 42 + 18 is not 24. The likely wrong choice is 42, which has the correct digits but fails the stated addition condition.

About Linear Equations
Linear equations contain variables only to the first power and produce straight-line relationships when represented graphically. Problems involve solving equations with brackets, fractions, and variables on both sides, forming equations from statements, and handling simultaneous linear equations, which differ from quadratic equations by having no squared variable.
