Daca cele doua numere sunt x si y, atunci
[tex]x=\overline{ab}; \ \ y=\overline{cd}[/tex]
[tex]\overline{xy}=\overline{abcd};\ \ \overline{yx}=\overline{cdab}[/tex], deci
[tex]\overline{abcd}=439+2\cdot\overline{cdab}[/tex], care se mai poate scrie
[tex]\overline{ab}\cdot100+\overline{cd}=439+2(\overline{cd}\cdot100+\overline{ab})[/tex] si revenind la notatia cu x si y, avem:
[tex]100x+y=439+2(100y+x)\Rightarrow 98x=439+199y[/tex] (1)
Din enunt avem: [tex]x+y=56\Rightarrow x=56-y[/tex], care inlocuit in (1), da:
[tex]98\cdot56-98y=439+199y\Rightarrow5049=297y\Rightarrow y=17\Rightarrow [/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow x=56-17=39[/tex]
