The tens digit is 3; the units digit is 3-1 = 2; and the number itself is 32.
<em>Lets simplify the problem,</em>
Let assume the "tens" digit be x
Then the "units" difference = (x-1), according to the condition.
Hence, the number itself is N = 10x + (x-1).
Then the number N+8 is 10x + (x-1) + 8 = 10x + x + 7 = 11x + 7.
From the last statement of the problem, we have this equation
Simplify and find "x"
.
Thus the tens digit is 3; the units digit is 3-1 = 2; and the number itself is 32.
