the sum of the digits of a certain two-digit number is 12. reversing its digits decreases the number by 54. find the number
---------
Let the original number be 10t+u.
------
Equation:
t + u = 12
10t+u - (10u+t) = 54
--------------------
t + u = 12
9t - 9u = 54
-------
t + u = 12
t - u = 6
-------
2t = 18
t = 9
----
Solve for "u":
t + u = 12
9 + u = 12
u = 3
------
Original Number: 10t+u = 93
--------------------------
