You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x = ones digit
y = tens digit
---
x + y = 7
10x + y = x + 10y + 9
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
x + y = 7
9x - 9y = 9
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:

solution:
x = ones digit = 4
y = tens digit = 3
---
answer:
the number, by observation = 34
the number, by algebra = x + 10y = 4 + 10*3 = 34
