thanks a lot, how did you solve it in a process.

Let a equal the first number and b equal the second number.
Subtract b from both sides.
Subtract 6 a from both sides.
b = 4 and a = 5. So the number is 10*5 + 4 = 54.

Hi ArnoldRobin;
I hope you tried to do it on your own. I usually will not do homework for anyone because it is something that you must do on your own. I hope you understand that.
You say you are in the 3rd grade. You are at the perfect age for learning. I hope to see you in here in the future. Then I will give you problems to work on.

What 2 digit number has a value that is 12 (or more or 100+) times the sum of its digits?
What about 3 digit number has a value that is 12 (or more or 100+) times the sum of its digits?

Why 10a + 1b is used, why not 20a + 4b instead?

Because 10 a + b is how you represent a 2 digit number.

It is not possible to have a 2 digit number that is 12 or more times the sum of its digits

Hi Bobbym, it worked! Just being scared of the negative number:
10a + b = 12a + 12b
-2a = 11b
a=11; b=-2
10(11) - 2 = 108
1+0+8 = 9 x 12 = 108
Thank you so much for the enlightenment. You are so wonderful. God bless.
P.S. Hope you won't get fed up with other help I would need.
