let AB be the number. Then
10A+B=3(A+B) or 7A-2B=0
10B+A-45=10A+B or 9A-9B=-45

7A-2B=0
9A-9B=-45 Now, solving that (multipy second by 7 and first by 9)
63A-18B=0
63A-63B=-315
subtract second eq from first.
-18B+63B=315
45B=315
B=7
you solve for A

Let the number be written as ab
Then its value is 10a+b
So, now we are told that
10a+b = 3(a+b)
10a+b = 10b+a - 45
Now just crank it out

Please that 10a + b where is it come from in reference to question?
Answered by oobleck
consider the number 47
The digits are 4,7
its value is 10*4 + 7
better review base-10 numbers

a 3-digit number abc has the value 100a+10b+c
and so on
