Question 570426: I am a 3-digit number that is even. My hundreds and ones digits are the same and have a sum of 10. My tens digit is 2 less than my ones digit. What number am I? Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
Not possible. The only identical pair of single digits that sum to 10 are 5 and 5. But that means the ones digit is 5, but 5 is odd, but the 3 digit number can only be even if the ones digit is even.
