the 3 digit number is HTU
H is the hundreds digit
T is the tens digit
U is the units digit.

each digit can be 0 through 9.

if the hundreds digit is 2 times the tens digit, then the tens digit can't be 5 or greater because then the hundreds digit will be two digits.
therefore, the tens digits can only be 0 or 1 or 2 or 3 or 4.

of the tens digit is 3 more than the units digit, then the units digit has to be 3 less than the tens digit.
since the units digit can't be less than 0, then the tens digit can only be 3 or 4.

if the tens digit is 3, then the hundreds digit is 6 and the units digit is 0 and the number is 630.
this satisfies the requirements since the hundreds digit is two times the tens digit and the tens digit is 3 more than the units digit.

if the tens digit is 4, then the hundreds digit is 8 and the units digit is 1 and the number is 841.
this satisfies the requirements since the hundreds digit is two times the tens digit and the tens digit is 3 more than the units digit.

630 and 841 are the only two possibilities as far as i can see.

if you say that the digit can't be 0, then the only possible number is 841.

A three-digit number whose hundreds digit is twice the tens digit and the tens digit is 3 more that
the units digit

Let units digits be U Then tens digit = U + 3, and hundreds digit is: 2T, or 2(U + 3) = 2U + 6 By observation, with the hundreds digit being 2U + 6, U or the units digit CANNOT be 2 or more. Therefore, U or the units digit MUST either be 0 or 1. First case: Units digit = 0 Tens digit = 0 + 3 = 3 Hundreds digit = 2(0) + 6 = 6 Number, based on the above: Second case: Units digit = 1 Tens digit = 1 + 3 = 4 Hundreds digit = 2(1) + 6 = 8 Number, based on the above:
