The sum of the digit of two digit is 8..if the number is reversed the number is decreased by 54.find the number
----------------
Number:: 10t+u
Reverse:: 10u+t
--------------------
Equation:
t + u = 8
10t+u - (10u+t) = 54
------
t+u = 8
9t-9u = 54
-----------
Modify for elimination::
t + u = 8
t - u = 6
---
2t = 14
t = 7
----
u = 1
----
Original Number:: 10t+u = 71
