In a two digit number one digit is even.
Sum of original number and number obtained by interchanging digits is 11 times the difference between them.
Find difference of digits in original number.
:
Write the original number: 10a+b, where
a = the 1st digit
b = the 2nd digit
:
"Sum of original number and number obtained by interchanging digits is 11 times the difference between them."
(10a+b) + (10b+a) = 11((10b+a) - (10a+b))
Combine like terms
11a + 11b = 11(9b - 9a)
divide equation by 11
a + b = 9b - 9a
combine like terms
a + 9a = 9b - b
10a = 8b
5a = 4b
a = b
The only single integer solution: a=4; b=5; the number is 45

Check solution in the statement
"Sum of original number and number obtained by interchanging digits is 11 times the difference between them."
45 + 54 = 11(54-45)
99 = 11(9)
