Answer 1

$\boldsymbol{\mathbf{Answer}}$

$\boldsymbol{\mathbf{Mathematical\, statement \,for\, the\, problem \,is\, "10x\, + \,y \,= \,xy \,+\, 26"}}$

$\boldsymbol{\mathbf{Step-by-step\,explanation}}$

x for the tens degit, = 10 x

y for the once digit, = y

Then the number is $\boldsymbol{10x + y}$

As given, the number is greater than the product of its digits by 26

i.e $\boldsymbol{xy + 26}$

Hense we can write $\boldsymbol{10x + y = xy + 26}$.
