You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The number is like t%2A10%2Bu%2A1 or 10t%2Bu. "t" is tens and "u" is "units".

Sum of digits is 10, so meaning t%2Bu=10.
"Ones digit is two more than the tens digits", means u=2%2Bt.

Getting a solution can continue with the substitution for u:
t%2Bu=10
t%2B%282%2Bt%29=10
t%2Bt%2B2=10
2t%2B2=10
t%2B1=5
highlight%28t=4%29--------highlight%28u=6%29.
NUMBER IS 46.
