You can put this solution on YOUR website!
My hundreds digit is 5 more than my ones digit...
So the only possibilities are these 5.

5_0
6_1
7_2
8_3
9_4

...and my tens digit is 2 less than my hundreds digit.
So we subtract 2 from each hundreds digits in those
five possibilities and put what we get for the tens digit:

530
641
752
863
974
