Assume the number takes the expanded form, x*10+y*1, and the digits are x and y.
(1) Either x-y=1, OR y-x=1.
(2) The other description translates to 10x+y=1+5(x+y)
Using equation #2, 10x+y=1+5x+5y,
5x+y=1+5y
5x-4y=1
If we now chose from eq.#1, y-x=1, we find x=y-1. Substitute this into 5x-4y=1.
5(y-1)-4y=1
couple more steps,
y=6
Therefore x=5
Answer: 56
