A two-digit number is 1 more than eight times the sum of the digits. The ones digit is 3 less than the tens digit. What is the number?
------
Let the number be 10t+u
----
Equation:
10t+u = 8(t+u)+1
u = t-3
------
Substitute for "u" and solve for "t"::
10t + t-3 = 8(t+t-3) + 1
-----
11t - 3 = 16t - 24+1
----
11t - 3 = 16t-23
----
5t = 20
t = 4
---
Then u = t-3 = 1
-----
Ans: 10t+u = 41
