Let the unit digit = x
Then, the tens digit = 3x
And we have the following equation
[3x(10) + x] - 54 = [ x(10) + 3x ] simplify
30x + x - 54 = 10x + 3x
31x - 54 = 13 x
18x - 54 = 0
18x = 54 divide both sides by 18
x = 3 and 3x = 3(3) = 9
So
The larger number is 3(3)(10) + 3 = 93
And the smaller number is 10(3) + 3(3) = 39
And their difference = 54
