The original number is #83#.

Explanation:

Let the digit at tenth place be #x# and at unit place be #y#.

So, the number in algebraic form is #10x+y#.

From the first condition

#y=x/2-1=(x-2)/2#.......(i)

From second condition

#10y+x=3(x+y)+5#

or, #10y+x=3x+3y+5#

or, #7y=2x+5#

Putting the value of #y# from (i) we get

#7((x-2)/2)=2x+5#

or, #7x-14=4x+10#

or, #3x=24#

or, #x=24/3=8#

Putting the value of #x# in (i) we get

#y=(x-2)/2=(8-2)/2=3#

Now #10x+y=10*8+3=83#

So the required number is #83#.
