Let represent the 10s digit and represent the 1s digit.

The number is then

The sum of the digits is

And the digits differ by 1, so

That makes the sum of the digits

And the number itself

Since the number is 9 more than five times the sum of the digits:



Solve for to get the 10s digit and then calculate to get the 1s digit.
