You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Using the factors that evenly divided into 54, we can see that there are three sets of number that are "possible" answers. That is, they contain one factor that are two digits
1*54
2*26
3*18
The only one that fits is 2*26 (first digit doesn't match in the others)
Now make sure the second part still works. Is 26 + 8 = 36?
