...
let ten's digit be x
units digit be y
..
3x=4y+2
3x-4y=2...............1
...
10x+y-(10y+x)=2(x+y)-2
10x+y-10y-x=2x+2y-2
9x-9y=2x+2y-2
7x-11y=-2..............2
multiply (1) by 7 and (2) by -3
...
21x-28y=14
-21x+33y=6
add the two
5y=20
/5
y=4
..
plug y in (1)
3x-4y=2
3x-16=2
3x=18
/3
x=6
The number is 64
