The units digit of a two digit number is 5 more than the tens digit. If the digits are reversed and the new number is divided by the original, the qoutient is 2 and the remainder is 7. What is the original number?
***
let u=units digit
let t=tens digit
u=t+5
original number=10t+u
new number=10u+t

(11t+5)(22t+17)=(11t+50)(11t+5)
242t^2+297t+85=121t^2+605t+250
121t^2-308t-165=0
solve for t by quadratic formula:

a=121, b=-308, c=165
ans:
t=-55/121≈-0.4545(reject)
or
t=3
u=t+5=8
Check:
original number=38
new number=83
new number/original number=83/38=2+Remainder=7
