Solution

Let's denote the digit in the tens place as T and the digit in the units place as U.

From the problem, we know that:

  1. T = U + 5 (since the digit in the tens place exceeds that in the units place by 5)
  2. The number is 10T + U (since T is in the tens place and U is in the units place)
  3. If 5 times the sum of the digits is added to the number, the digits are reversed. This gives us the equation: 10T + U + 5(T + U) = 10U + T

Substituting T = U + 5 into the second equation, we get:

10(U + 5) + U + 5(U + 5 + U) = 10U + U + 5 10U + 50 + U + 5U + 25 + 5U = 11U + 5 21U + 75 = 11U + 5 10U = -70 U = -7

However, a digit cannot be negative, so there seems to be a mistake in the problem. The digits of the number cannot be reversed by adding 5 times the sum of the digits to the number. Therefore, the problem does not have a valid solution.
