a = the 10's digit
b = the units

Write an equation for each statement

The difference between the digits of a two-digit number is 1.
b - a = 1 (unit is greater than the 10's)
b = a + 1
The number itself is 1 more than 5 times the sum of its digits.
10a + b = 5(a+b) + 1
10a + b = 5a + 5b + 1
10a - 5a = 5b - b + 1
5a = 4b + 1
replace b with (a+1)
5a = 4(a+1) + 1
5a = 4a + 4 + 1
5a - 4a = 4
a = 5
therefore
b = 5 + 1
b = 6
The number is 56

A quick and easy path to the solution, using logical reasoning -- if a formal algebraic solution is not required.
"the number itself is 1 more than 5 times the sum of its digits".
1 more than a multiple of 5 means the units digit of the number is either 1 or 6.
The units digit is 1 more than the tens digit; so the 2-digit number is either "01" or "56".
"01" is not a 2-digit number. "56" is; and it satisfies the condition that the number is 1 more than 5 times the sum of its digits.
ANSWER: 56
