You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x = units digit
y = tens digit
---
x = y + 4
10x + y = 3(x + 10y) + 6
---
x - y = 4
10x + y = 3x + 30y + 6
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
x - y = 4
7x - 29y = 6
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:

---
solution:
x = 5
y = 1
---
answer:
the original number = x + 10y = 5 + 10*1 = 15
