&lt;br&gt;
The difference between the digits is 1; and the units digit is greater.  So&lt;br&gt;
let x = tens digit
then x+1 = units digit&lt;br&gt;
The sum of the digits is then (x)+(x+1) = 2x+1.&lt;br&gt;
With tens digit x and units digit x+1, the (value of) the number itself is 10(x)+(x+1) = 11x+1.&lt;br&gt;
The information says the number is 1 more than 5 times the sum of the digits:&lt;br&gt;
{{{11x+1 = 5(2x+1)+1}}}&lt;br&gt;
Solve using basic algebra....&lt;br&gt;
NOTE....&lt;br&gt;
It is very easy to check your answer in this problem.  If the answer you get doesn&#39;t check, then you&#39;ve done something wrong somewhere.&lt;br&gt;
If the response from the first tutor has not been corrected/revised, it can be educational to look at their work and see where their error is.  It&#39;s a simple error in setting up the problem -- an error anybody could make if they aren&#39;t paying attention.  But since their answer of 45 doesn&#39;t satisfy the conditions of the problem, you know there is something wrong somewhere.&lt;br&gt;
