Answer:
43
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
The unit digit = x
The tens digit = y
The number = 10x + y
The tens digit of a two-digit number is five more than the units digit.
y = x + 5
Seven times the sum of the digits of this number is 3 less than the number itself.
7(x + y) = 10x + y - 3
7x + 7y = 10x + y - 3
Find the number.
We substitute x + 5 for y
7x + 7(x + 5) = 10x + (x + 5) - 3
7x + 7x + 35 = 10x + x + 5x - 3
14x + 35 = 11x + 5x - 3
Collect like terms
35 + 3 = 11x + 5x -14x
38 = 16x - 14x
38 = 2x
x = 38/2
x = 19
Solving for y
y = x + 5
y = 19 + 5
y = 24
The number = 19 + 24
= 43
I believe the correct number is 88.

Hello! The first thing to do is to find the amount of change by subtracting both numbers. 2.60 - 0.25 is 2.35. Now, we set up a proportion by doing change/original = x/100. With the values plugged in, it would be written like this: 2.35/0.25 = x/100. Cross multiply the values in the proportion. When you do, you get 235 = 0.25x. Now, divide each side by 0.25 to isolate the "x". When you do that, x = 940. The price of gas has gone up 940% since 1930.
