    Let x = the ones digit

    Let y = the tens digit

    x+2y=12

    x=2y

    x+y=12 substitute x for 2y to get:

    (2y) + y=12 add like terms to get:

    3y=12

    3y=12 divide both sides by 3 to get:

    y=4

    x+y=12 substitute y for 4 to get:

    x+4=12 subtract 4 from both sides to get:

    x=8

    so if x=ones

    and y=tens

    then the answer is 48

    84. 4•2=8 8+4=12. The second digit must be less than 5 to create a single digit answer for your tens place.
