Sum and more than=adding
two digit number=## ex:(11, 35, 99, ...)
adding the digits together looks like: 1+1=2 for 11, 3+5=8 for 35, 9+9=18 for 99
these can also be viewed as variables for example say xy=35 where x=3 and y=5 but if 3 where to be multiplied by 5 you don't get 35. so what this really looks like is 3*10+5=35 , and swapping positions is simply 35 to 53
with this in mind lets start the problem
we have numbers
xy where
yx where
now you have 2 equations so I'll solve for x first and substitute it in 2nd equation

distribute the 10

add like terms

add 9y to both sides and subtract 7 from both sides

divide by 18

now simply solve for x by substituting in 5 for y

the original number should be
Lets check

this is correct
