Let the number be (10 x + y)
Then, 10 x + y = 3 * (x + y) (given)
Or, 10 x + y = 3 x + 3 y
Or, 10 x - 3 x = 3 y - y
Or, 7x = 2 y
Or, x = 2 y / 7 ( Eq. 1)
Also, 10 x + y + 45 = 10 y + x ( given)
Or, 10 x - x = 10 y - y - 45
Or, 9 x = 9 y - 45 ( Eq. 2)
Substituting the value of x from (Eq. 1) in (Eq. 2), we have:
9 * 2 y / 7 = 9 y - 45
Or, (9 y ) - (18 y / 7) = 45
Or, 63 y - 18 y = 315
Or, 45 y = 315
Or, y = 7
From (Eq. 1),
x = 2 * 7 / 7 = 2
So, the number is 10 x + y = (10 * 2) + 7 = (20 + 7) = 27
Answer
Check:
Sum of the digits = 2 + 7 = 9
9 * 3 = 27 ✓
Adding 45 to the number 27, we get 72. So, the digits get reversed.
So what they are telling you is that 5 is three higher than the variable n.
So n = 5-3
so n is 2.
