Let a be the smaller of the two digits, so it must be at the unit's place and b be the digit at ten's place.
The number is 10b + a.
According to the first condition,
![a cross times b equals 40 space... space left parenthesis i right parenthesis
A c c o r d i n g space t o space t h e space s e c o n d space c o n d i t i o n comma
b minus a equals 3
rightwards double arrow b equals 3 plus a space space... space left parenthesis i i right parenthesis
S u b s t i t u t i n g space b space f r o m space left parenthesis i i right parenthesis space i n space left parenthesis i right parenthesis comma space w e space g e t
a open parentheses 3 plus a close parentheses equals 40
rightwards double arrow a squared plus 3 a minus 40 equals 0
rightwards double arrow a squared plus 8 a minus 5 a minus 40 equals 0
rightwards double arrow a left parenthesis a plus 8 right parenthesis minus 5 left parenthesis a plus 8 right parenthesis equals 0
rightwards double arrow left parenthesis a plus 8 right parenthesis left parenthesis a minus 5 right parenthesis equals 0
rightwards double arrow a equals negative 8 space space o r space space a equals 5
a space c a n apostrophe t space b e space n e g a t i v e
rightwards double arrow a equals 5
rightwards double arrow b equals 8
