The sum of the digits of a two digit number is 14. The value of the number is two less than 11 times the tens digit. What is the number?

Answer 1

Based on your conditions and letting x = the first number and y = the second number (in the ones place), the number is xy

Then,

x + y = 14 or x + y = 14 adding the 2 equations gives

and 10x + y = 11x - 2 x - y = 2

2x = 16 or

x = 8 and y = 14 - x = 6

So, the number xy is 86
