Answer:

let the numbers be xy

general form of the number =10x+y

sum of digits of a number =14

x+y=14………[1]

if 18 is added to the number, then digits are interchanged

10x+y+18=10y +x

9x-9y=-18

X-y=-2………[2]

the linear equations are 1) x+y=14

2) X-y=-2

adding [1],[2]

2x=12

x=6

x+y=14

y=14-x

y=14-6

y=8

there fore the number =10*6+8

=68

check:-

1)6+8=14

2)68+18=86

I hope this helped!
