You can put this solution on YOUR website! The tens digit of a two-digit number is half the units digit. If their difference is 4, what is the number?
----------------------
Let the number be 10t+u.

Equations:
t = (1/2)u
u -t = 4
--------------------
Substitute to solve for "u":
u - (1/2)u = 4
(1/2)u = 4
u = 8

Substitute to solve for "t":
t = (1/2)u = 4
