Answer:

94

Explanation:

Let the unit's digit =

Let the ten's digit =

Then the number will be equal to
10x+y

Now, using the given statement:

x=y+5 ..... (1)

$7(x+y) = 10x+y-3\\\Rightarrow 7x+7y=10x+y-3\\\Rightarrow 6y-3x=-3 ..... (2)$

Now, using the equation (1) in equation (2):

$6y-3(y+5) =-3\\\Rightarrow 3y-12=0\\\Rightarrow y =4$

By equation (1):

$x = 4+5 \\\Rightarrow x =9$

Therefore, the number is :

$10x+y= 10* 9 +4 = \bold{94}$
