The sum of the digits of the two number is 5.
If 10 times the tens digit is added to 4 times the unit digit,
the number obtained is in the reverse order of the digits of the original number. find the number?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The equations are 

t + u = 5,          (1)    (where t is the "tens" digit, u is the "units" digit.)
10t+4u = 10u + t.   (2)

Simplify:

t + u = 5,
9t = 6u.

t = 5-u,
9*(5-u) = 6u,

45 - 9u = 6u,

45 = 15u  --->  u = 3,  t = 2.

The original number is 23.
