To solve the equation [tex]\(\overline{abc} - \overline{3xy} = \overline{cba}\)[/tex] and find the sum [tex]\( x + y \)[/tex], we need to express these numbers in their expanded form.
1. Express [tex]\(\overline{abc}\)[/tex] and [tex]\(\overline{cba}\)[/tex] in decimal form:
[tex]\[ \overline{abc} = 100a + 10b + c \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \overline{cba} = 100c + 10b + a \][/tex]
2. Express [tex]\(\overline{3xy}\)[/tex] in decimal form:
[tex]\[ \overline{3xy} = 300 + 10x + y \][/tex]
3. Formulate the equation given in the problem:
[tex]\[ 100a + 10b + c - (300 + 10x + y) = 100c + 10b + a \][/tex]
4. Simplify the equation:
First, subtract [tex]\(100c + 10b + a\)[/tex] from both sides:
[tex]\[ 100a + 10b + c - 300 - 10x - y - 100c - 10b - a = 0 \][/tex]
Combine like terms:
[tex]\[ 99a - 99c - 10x - y - 300 = 0 \][/tex]
Simplifying further, we get:
[tex]\[ 99(a - c) - 10x - y = 300 \][/tex]
5. Divide both sides by 99 to isolate [tex]\((a - c)\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ a - c = \frac{300 + 10x + y}{99} \][/tex]
Since [tex]\(a\)[/tex] and [tex]\(c\)[/tex] are single digits (0 to 9), their difference [tex]\((a - c)\)[/tex] must be an integer. Therefore, [tex]\(\frac{300 + 10x + y}{99}\)[/tex] must be an integer.
6. Check for possible values of [tex]\( 10x + y \)[/tex]:
The numerator [tex]\(300 + 10x + y\)[/tex] must be divisible by 99. Let's consider some appropriate values:
Trying [tex]\( x = 3 \)[/tex] and [tex]\( y = 3 \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ 10 \cdot 3 + 3 = 30 + 3 = 33 \][/tex]
Check:
[tex]\[ 33 + 300 = 333 \][/tex]
Since 333 is exactly divisible by 99 (333 ÷ 99 = 3):
[tex]\[ a - c = 3 \][/tex]
Since [tex]\(y = 3\)[/tex], the sum [tex]\(x + y\)[/tex] is:
[tex]\[ 3 + 3 = 6 \][/tex]
We conclude that there is an error in the possible solutions.
Upon rechecking the steps, it's clear there is a mistake of calculating possible values of [tex]\(10x + y\)[/tex]. Instead match the provided possible choices (whilst rechecking divisibility):
1. Trying [tex]\( x = 2 \)[/tex] and [tex]\( y = 3 \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ 10 \cdot 2 + 3 = 20 + 3 = 23 \][/tex]
[tex]\(23\)[/tex] re-checked isn't applicable.
Continue rechecking potential correct pair:
Try [tex]\( x = 9 \)[/tex] and [tex]\( y = 6 \)[/tex]:
This corresponding value [tex]\( 96\)[/tex]:
(validating resultant divides factors 99):
seems incorrect.
Lastly, remove error and identify:
- recheck previous:
[tex]\( x = 1 \)[/tex] and [tex]\( y = 8 \)[/tex]:

[tex]\[ \overline{abc} = 100a + 10b + c \][/tex]

[tex]\[ 100a + 10b + c - 300 - 10x - y - 100c - 10b - a = 0 \][/tex]

[tex]\[ 99a - 99c - 10x - y - 300 = 0 \][/tex]
Simplifying further, we get:
[tex]\[ 99(a - c) - 10x - y = 300 \][/tex]
