Question

The sum of the digits of a two digit number is 10. When the digits are reversed, the number increases by 18. Find original number.

Answer 1

Explanation:

10x+y=10y+x-18 multiply the tens digit by 10 and leave the one's digit alone

9x=9y-18 divide by 9

x=y-2

x-y=-2

x+y=10

add above two equations

2x=8 divide by 2

x=4

y=10-4=6

numbers are 46 and 64

64=46+18 4+6=10
