my tenths digit is 3 less than my hundredths digit. The difference between my tenths and hundredths digit is 5. The sum of my digits is 10. What number am I?

To find the number based on the given statements, we can use a system of equations.
Let's assume the tenths digit is represented by "X" and the hundredths digit is represented by "Y".
We are given three conditions:
Condition 1: "The tenths digit is 3 less than the hundredths digit."
This can be expressed as: X = Y - 3
Condition 2: "The difference between the tenths and hundredths digit is 5."
This can be expressed as: X - Y = 5
Condition 3: "The sum of the digits is 10."
This can be expressed as: X + Y = 10
Now, we can solve this system of equations to find the values of X and Y.
From Condition 1, we can substitute X in terms of Y into Condition 2:
(Y - 3) - Y = 5
Simplifying, we get: -3 = 5
This is not possible, so there must be an error in the given conditions or the question itself.
