Two-digit number,

.




A graph of this linear equation helps to see how the digits would work. Tens as a function of the Units.


The vertical axis intercept is not important. We only deal with digits which themselves are positive numbers. The tens cannot here be zero since we require a TWO digit number. Our tens must be at least a 1, and so by the line present (or our equation), 12 is our smallest possible number, and 89 is our largest possible number. Reminder: TWO-digit number. For any allowable Unit digit or Ten's digit, we can read the corresponding Ten's digit or Units digit.

We can check that 12 works. 12+9=21.
We can check that 89 works. 89+9=98.
We can check any other arrangement: 56+9=65.
