14. Let x be the ten's digit of the two-digit number.
Then its unit's digit = x + 7.
Number = unit's digit + 10(ten's digit) = (x + 7) + 10(x) = 11x + 7.
Sum of the digits = (x + 7) + (x) = 2x + 7.
Given, sum of the digits is half of the whole number. Therefore,
4x + 14 = 11x + 7
4x - 11x = 7 - 14
-7x = -7
x = 1
Ten's digit of the two-digit number is x = 1.
Unit's digit of the two-digit number = x + 7 = 1 + 7 = 8
Thus, the required number is 18.

14. Let x be the ten's digit of the two-digit number.
Then its unit's digit = x + 7.
Number = unit's digit + 10(ten's digit) = (x + 7) + 10(x) = 11x + 7.
Sum of the digits = (x + 7) + (x) = 2x + 7.
Given, sum of the digits is half of the whole number. Therefore,
4x + 14 = 11x + 7
4x - 11x = 7 - 14
-7x = -7
x = 1
Ten's digit of the two-digit number is x = 1.
Unit's digit of the two-digit number = x + 7 = 1 + 7 = 8
Thus, the required number is 18.

Then its unit's digit = x + 7.

Sum of the digits = (x + 7) + (x) = 2x + 7.
