Answer:

No answer. See below.

Explanation:

This number is in the ten-thousands, so it has 5 digits.

Let the number have the form

abcde, where

a = ten-thousands digit

b = thousands digit

c = hundreds digit

d = tens digit

e = ones digit

"my ones digit is 2 more than my thousand digit."

e = b + 2

"the sum of my ones and thousand is my hundreds digit."

e + b = c

"3 less that my hundreds digit is my tens digit."

c - 3 = d

"my Hundreds thousand and ten thousand are the same."

c = b = a

We have 4 equations:

e = b + 2

e + b = c

c - 3 = d

c = b = a

Using the last equation, replace every c and b with a in the first 3 equations.

e = a + 2

e + a = a

a - 3 = d

Using the second equation, subtract a from both sides.

e = 0

Substitute e = 0 in the first equation.

0 = a + 2

a = -2; b = -2; c = -2; d = -5

Since a digit cannot be negative, there is a problem with this question.
