The unit digit of a two-digit number is one less than three times the tens digit.
Let the number be 10t+u
---
u = 3t-1
----
The sum of the digits is 11.
u + t = 11
----
Find the number
Substitute for "u" and solve for "t":
3t-1+t = 11
4t = 12
t = 3
----
Solve for "u":
u = 3t-1
u = 3*3-1 = 8
-------
Ans: The number is 10t+u = 38
