-------------
Let the two digit number be 10t+u where t is the tens digit and u is the units.
----------------------
EQUATIONS:
t + u = 11
(10u+t)-(10t+u) = 27
--------------
Simplify the 2nd equation to get:
9u - 9t = 27
u -t = 3
--------------
Rewrite the equations:
u - t = 3
u + t = 11
2u = 14
u = 7
---------
Then t = 4
---------------
Original Number: 47
