A two digit number is eight times the sum of the digits. The number formed by reversing the digits is 45 less than the original number. Find the number.
***
let u=units digit
let t=tens digit
..
10t+u=8(u+t)
10u+t-45=10t+u
..
10t+u=8u+8t
2t=7u
t=7u/2
..
10u+t=10t+u-45
sub 7u/2 for t
10u+7u/2=10(7u/2)+u-45
mult. by LCD=2
20u+7u=70u+2u-90
45u=90
u=2
t=7u/2=14/2=7
number: 10t+u=70+2=72
