Explanation:

x = 10¹ digit

y = 10⁰ digit

the original number is xy.

the reverse number is yx.

xy + yx = 99.

xy - yx = 27

10x + y + 10y + x = 99

11x + 11y = 99

x + y = 9

x = 9 - y

10x + y - 10y - x = 27

9x - 9y = 27

x - y = 3

9 - y - y = 3

6 = 2y

y = 3

x = 9 - y = 9 - 3 = 6

the original number is 63
