Question 1072305
A number of two digits is such that twice the tens digit is 8 less than seven times the unit digit. When the digits are reversed, the number is decreased by 9. What is the number? 
-------------
Let the number be 10t+u
-----
Equations:
2t = 7u-8
10t+u - 10u+t = 9
------------------------
Rearrange:
2t - 7u = -8
9t - 9u = 9
--------------------
2t - 7u = -8
2t - 2u = 2*9
-----
Subtract and solve for "u":
5u = 26
Note:: u is not an integer.
Pls check your post.
