To find Lydia's address, we can use the clues provided on the invitation:
1. The tens digit is 5 less than 7.
This means the tens digit is 7 - 5 = 2.
2. The thousand digit is twice the digit in the tens place.
Since the tens digit is 2, the thousand digit is 2 * 2 = 4.
3. The hundreds digit is the greatest even number less than 10.
The greatest even number less than 10 is 8, so the hundreds digit is 8.
4. The ones digit is the product of 7 and 1.
The product of 7 and 1 is 7, so the ones digit is 7.
5. The ten thousand digit is the difference between the hundred digit and the ones digit.
The hundreds digit is 8 and the ones digit is 7, so the difference is 8 - 7 = 1.
Putting all the digits together, we get the address: 18472. Therefore, Lydia's address is 18472 Cypress Street.
