if the digits of certain two digit positive integers are interchanged the resulting integer is 18 more than the original number what is the greatest possible value of the original integer
-------------------
original #:: 10t + u
reversed # : 10u + t
-------------------------
Equation:
10u+t - (10t+u) = 18
-----
9u - 9t = 18
u - t = 2
------
If t = 1, u = 3:::: # = 13
If t = 2, u = 4:::: # = 24
If t = 3, u = 5:::: # = 35
etc..
If t = 7, u = 9::: # = 79 (greatest possible)
