Answer:
59
Step-by-step explanation:
x= tens place of number
y= ones place of number
set up equations:
"sum of the digit is 14"
sum is the result of addition
x+y=14
"Twice the tens digit exceeds the units digit by one"
2x is bigger than y by 1
if 2x is bigger, then add 1 to the opposite side to balance the equation:
2x=y+1
with 2 equations you can solve for 2 variables:
2x=y+1
2x-1=y
substitute into x+y=14
x+(2x-1)=14
3x-1=14
3x=15
x=5
------
subtitute to find y
x+y=14
5+y=14
y=9
number is 59
