Let the first digit be x and the second digit be y.
then by question,
x + y = 9
=> y = 9 - x ------- eq 1
Again,
Since the number is 10x+y when it is revered then the number becomes 10y + x.
Therefore, we get by question
=> 10x + y -(10y + x) = 45
=> 10x + y - 10y - x = 45
=> 9x -9y = 45
=> x - y = 5
=> x = 5+y
=> x = 5 + (9-x) -----frm eq 1
=> x = 5 + 9 - x
=> 2x = 14
=> x = 7
Now, eq 1
y = 9 - x
=> y = 9 - 7
=> y = 2
Therefore the number is 72
