let the number is xy
The value of a certain two digit number is 4 more than six times the sum of it's digits.
so,xy=6(x+y)+4
If the digits are reversed, the resulting number is 18 less than the original number.
which means, yx=xy-18=6(x+y)+4-18=6(x+y)-14
here x,y values must be even numbers to satisfies the equation.
let us take the numbers randomly
let x=4,y=2,so xy=42 (in this problem x value must be greater because,yx=xy-18)
yx=6(x+y)-14 = 6(4+2)-14 = 36-14=22 doesnot satisfies the condition
let x=6,y=2,so xy=62
yx=6(x+y)-14 = 6(6+2)-14 = 48-14=34 doesnot satisfies the condition
let x=6,y=4,so xy=64
yx=6(x+y)-14 = 6(6+4)-14 =60-14=46
46=46 satisfies the equation
so,original number is 64.

The value of a certain two digit number is 4 more than six times the sum of it's digits. If the digits are reversed, the resulting number is 18 less than the original number. What is the original number?
**
let t=ten's digit
let u=unit's digit
original 2-digit number=10t+u
10t+u=6(t+u)+4 (two digit number is 4 more than six times the sum of it's digits)
10t+u=6t+6u+4
10t+u=10u+t+18 (digits are reversed, the resulting number is 18 less than the original number)
..
4t-5u=4
9t-9u=18
..
36t-45u=36
36t-36u=72
-9u=-36
u=4
4t-5u=4
4t=24
t=6
original number=64
