A two-digit number is (7) times the sum of its digits. If the tens digit is (2) more than the units digit, what is the number?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 42

Let the tens digit be \(x\) and the units digit be \(y\). The number is \(10x+y\), so \(10x+y=7(x+y)\) gives \(3x=6y\), or \(x=2y\). Also, \(x-y=2\). Thus, \(2y-y=2\), so \(y=2\) and \(x=4\). Therefore, the number is \(42\). Option \(64\) has digits differing by 2, but \(7(6+4)=70\), not 64. Exam tip: Always write a two-digit number as \(10\times\) tens digit \(+\) units digit.
