Answer:

799

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the hundreds digit

Let y = the ones digit

x = y-2

We want to maximize x and y.  The both have to be single digit numbers

Rewriting this

x+2 =y

The largest x can be is 7 if y is a single digit

x is 7 and y is 9

We can pick the tens digit.  Make it as big as possible to make out number as large as possible

799
