Make each sentence plain, using proper punctuation where needed:

---------------------------------------------------
the sum of the digit of a two digit number is 10.
---------------------------------------------------

You can make a listing of all the possible numbers using that part, or say t for TENS and u for ONEs, and say t%2Bu=10.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
the result of subtracting twice the unit digit from three times the ten digit is 15.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Put into an equation, 3t-2u=15.


---------------------
find the number.
------------------

You have a system of equations which should be easy to solve:
system%28t%2Bu=10%2C3t-2u=15%29
