The tens digit of a two-digit number is five more than the units digit. Seven times the sum of the digits of this number is 3 less than the number itself. Find the number.

43

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

The unit digit = x

The tens digit = y

The number = 10x + y

The tens digit of a two-digit number is five more than the units digit.

y = x + 5

Seven times the sum of the digits of this number is 3 less than the number itself.

7(x + y) = 10x + y - 3

7x + 7y = 10x + y - 3

Find the number.

We substitute x + 5 for y

7x + 7(x + 5) = 10x + (x + 5) - 3

7x + 7x + 35 = 10x + x + 5x - 3

14x + 35 = 11x + 5x - 3

Collect like terms

35 + 3 = 11x + 5x -14x

38 = 16x - 14x

38 = 2x

x = 38/2

x = 19

Solving for y

y = x + 5

y = 19 + 5

y = 24

The number = 19 + 24

= 43

step-by-step explanation:

you can add the two numbers and divide the result by 2. or you can find the gap between the two numbers and add half of this to the smaller number.
