Answer:

25

Explanation:

So if we know that the sum of the digits is 7, we can start with an equation.

t + o = 7, where t is the tens place digit, and o is the ones place.

If t is three less than o, we can make a second equation to represent this.

t + 3 = o

So, we can take the 3 off of 7, giving us 4. Now, we can divide 4 by 2, because there are two digits to solve for.

4 / 2 is 2

t = 2

o = t + 3

o = 2 + 3

o = 5

The number is 25.
