Question

Hello there >3 i would like explanation for this :)

Answer 1

Answer:

  75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t and u represent the tens and units digits, respectively.

  t = u + 2 . . . . the tens digit exceeds the units digit by 2

  t + 2u = 17 . . . . the sum of the tens digit and twice the units digit is 17

Substituting for t in the second equation, we get ...

  (u +2) +2u = 17

  3u = 15 . . . . . . . . subtract 2

  u = 5 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

  t = u+2 = 7

The number is 75.
