The sum of the digits of a two- digit number is 12. If 36 is added to the number, then the number obtained is the original with its digits interchanged. Find the original number.
Let x be in the tens place and y in units place
x+y =12
10x+y+36 = 10y+x
10x-10y+y-x+36=0
9x-9y=-36
x+y=12
9x+9y=108
18x=72
x=4
x+y=7 but x=4 so y=3 Number 43

Let
represent the 10s digit. Let
represent the 1s digit.
The sum of the digits is 12 so:
The value of the original number must be:
Adding 36
The value of the number with the digits reversed must be:
So:
Which is to say:
Or
Add that last equation to the first equation:
That means
must be 12 - 4 = 8 and that makes the original number be 48.
Check 48 plus 36 is 84 which is 48 with the digits reversed.
