digit. If you add the digits together and multiply the result by 6,
you will get five less than the number with the digits reversed.

Answer:

35

Explanation:

In a two-digit number, the units digit is two more than the tens

digit.

(10x) + (x + 2)

If you add the digits together and multiply the result by 6,

you will get five less than the number with the digits reversed.

(x + (x + 2))(6) = 10(x + 2) + x - 5

(2x + 2)(6) = (10x + 20)+ x - 5

12x + 12 = 11x + 15

x = 3

Original number

(10x) + (x + 2)

(10 * 3) + (3 + 2)

30 + 5

35
