The tens digit in a two-digit number is one more than the units digit. The difference between this number and the reverse number is 1/5 of the reverse number. Find the number.

Ok. So, since it is a two digit number, the formula for it is for example, if the number were 51, it would be 5*10+1. If the ones digit in the two digit number were X, it would be (X*10+1)+X, and since it said the reverse number (i.e. the reverse of 43 if 34) subtracted by (X*10+1)+X is 1/5 of the reverse number, we can make a equation:
[10(X+1)+X]-[10X+(X+1)]=[10X+(X+1)]*(1/5)
[10X+(X+1)] is the reverse number
Solving the equation:
[10(X+1)+X]-[10X+(X+1)]=[10X+(X+1)]*(1/5)
(10X+10+X)-(11X+1)=(11X+1)*(1/5)
11X+10-11X-1=(11X+1)*(1/5)
9=(11X+1)*(1/5)
Nothing is left on the left side of the equation except for 9 because 11X-11X cancels each other off, and 10-1=9
9 / (1/5)=11X+1
9*5=11X+1
45=11X+1
44=11X
X=4
Since X is the unit digit, and the problem stats that the tens digit is one larger than the unit digit, the tens digit should be 5
Answer: The number is 54
(Hope this is correct and it helps)
