Answer by math_helper(2461) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let x be the 10's digit, and y the one's digit.
x + y = 12
xy = 35
x > y
x = 35/y �> x + y = 35/y + y = 12
35 + y^2 = 12y
y^2 - 12y + 35 = 0
(y-7)(y-5) = 0
y=7 or y=5
y=7 �> x=5, no good because we only want solutions where x>y
y=5 �> x=7 (ok, xy=35, x+y=12, and x>y)
�
Ans: The number is 75.
