unknown values: x,y
equation: x+y=2*(x-y)
equation: x=6+2*y
answer: {18; 6} | {18; 6} or {-18/5; -6/5} | {18; 6} or {-3.6; -1.2}
Given a six digit number whose last digit is 1. If you place 1 as the first digit the resulting number is 1/3 that of the original one. Determine the original number.
unknown values: 100000*k+10000*x+1000*y+100*z+10*l+1
equation: (100000+10000*x+1000*y+100*z+10*l+1)/3=100000*k+10000*x+1000*y+100*z+10*l+1
answer: 428571
