Let be the tens digit
Let be the ones digit

since the tens digit is two more than the ones digit, we have:

...................(1)

since the number is thirty more than four times the sum of the digits, we have:

...................(2)

thus you need to solve the system of simultaneous equations:

...............................(1)
...........(2)
