Hi there!

Let the Original number be 10x + y.

Then,

• Ten's digit = x.
• Unit's digit = y.

According to th' Question :-

⇒x - 7 = y

⇒x - y = 7    ---(i)

And,

⇒10x + y = 10 (x + y)

⇒10x + y = 10x + 10y

⇒10x - 10x = 10y - y

⇒9y = 0

⇒y = 0

Substitute th' value of ' y ' in Eqn. (i)

⇒x - y = 7

⇒x - 0 = 7

⇒x = 7

∴ Original number = 10x + y = 10 × 7 + 0 = 70

Hence,
The required two digit number is 70

~ Hope it helps!
