  A two-digit number is such that its tens digit is greater than its unit by 2. The two-digit number is more than 2 times the product of its digits by 23. Find the number Answer Let the two-digit number be = xy first statement x = (y+2) then xy = (y+2)y the product of the two-digit number = y(y+2) 10(y+2) +y = 2y(y+2)+23 10y +20+y = 2y 2 +4y +23 11y +20 = 2y 2 + 4y +23 2y 2 +4y +23 – 11y -20   2y 2 – 7y +3 =0 2y 2 -6y-y +3= 0 2y(y-3) -1(y-3) =0 (2y-1)(y-3) Y =1/2 or 3 X =   (3+2) = 5 Xy =53  You can watch the  video for more information and remember to subscribe for more free videos Thanks
