In a $\displaystyle 2$-digit number, the digit at the unit's place is $\displaystyle 5$ less than the digit at the ten's place. The product of the digits is 36. Find the number.
Marking-scheme solution
Let digit at ten's place be x then digit at unit's place \(\displaystyle =\mathbf{x}-\mathbf{5}\)
\[x(x-5)=36
\]
\(\displaystyle \Rightarrow \mathrm{x}^{2}-5 \mathrm{x}-36=0\)
\(\displaystyle (x-9)(x+4)=0\)
\(\displaystyle \mathrm{x} \neq-4\) so, \(\displaystyle \mathrm{x}=9\)
∴ Required number is $\displaystyle 94$
