Question 58669: The sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 12. The product of the digits is three more than twice the sum of the digits. What is the number? Answer by rcmcc(152) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! the product of the number must be 12x2+3 or 27 as it is 2 times the sum adding 3.
because the sum is 12 there are only limited numbers that can add to get 12, they are
6 and 6
5 and 7
4 and 8
3 and 9
the only set of those numbers that multiply to get 27 is 3 and 9
so the number is 39
