\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let the units digit be x .
\n" ); document.write( "The tens digit will be 3x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Eight times the sum = 8*(x+3x) \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1 less than the number = 30x+x -1\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "8*(x+3x) = 30x +x -1\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "32x = 31x-1
\n" ); document.write( "x=-1
\n" ); document.write( "tens digit =-3 The number is -31\r
