    Let's call the digits a and b, a is ones, b is tens

    the number will look something like: aba, aba

    the sum of all the digits is 20

    a + b + a + a + b + a = 20

    4a + 2b = 20

    2a + b = 20

    b is 5 more than a

    b = a + 5

    2a + (a + 5) = 20 (because b=a+5)

    3a + 5 = 20

    3a = 15

    a = 5

    then go back to one of our equations from before to find b:

    a + b + a + a + b + a = 20

    5 + b + 5 + 5 + b + 5 = 20

    b + b = 0

    2b = 0

    b = 0

    therefore the number is 505,505
