\n" );
document.write( "Hi
\n" );
document.write( "sum of its digits is 10
\n" );
document.write( "Let x and (10-x)represent the unit and tens digits of this certain two-digit number
\n" );
document.write( "Question states***   Note: [10*(10-x)+ x] the original number
\n" );
document.write( " 10*x + (10-x) = [10*(10-x)+ x] - 36
\n" );
document.write( "Solving for x
\n" );
document.write( "   9x + 10 = 100 - 9x - 36
\n" );
document.write( "     18x = 54
\n" );
document.write( "       x = 3, the units digit, 7 the ten digit, the Number is 73
\n" );
document.write( "CHECKING our Answer***
\n" );
document.write( " 37 = 73 - 36 \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
