The sum of the digits of a two certain number is 10.
If the number formed by interchanging the digits is subtracted from the original number, the result is 18.
Find the original number
---
Let the original number be 10t+u
---
Equations:
t + u = 10
10t+u-(10u+t) = 18
-----
Rearrange the 2nd equation:
t + u = 10
9t -9u = 18
------
Modify:
t + u = 10
t - u = 2
----
Add:
2t = 12
t = 6
---
Then u = 4
---
Original Number: 10t+u = 64
