I am a two-digit number. If you multiply my digits together, you get 12. If you add my digits together, you get 7. What number am I?
34 (or 43)
Looking at the pairs of single digits that multiply to 12 (1 and 12, 2 and 6, 3 and 4), only 3 and 4 add up to 7 (3 + 4 = 7 and 3 × 4 = 12). Therefore, the number is either 34 or 43.
