In a two-digit number, the sum of digits is (9). The tens digit is (3) more than the units digit. What is the number?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (63)

The direct answer is option A: 63. Let the tens digit be x and the units digit be y. The digit sum gives x+y=9. “The tens digit is 3 more” gives x-y=3, not y-x=3. Add the equations: 2x=12, so x=6. Then y=9-6=3. A two-digit number with tens digit 6 and units digit 3 is 63. Option A is correct, and checking gives 6+3=9 and 6-3=3. Option B, 54, has digit sum 9, but 5 is only 1 more than 4. Option C, 72, has sum 9, but 7 is 5 more than 2. Option D, 81, has sum 9, but 8 is 7 more than 1. The common mistake is reversing the tens and units condition. Memory cue: tens digit is written first, so the number is 10x+y.
