Let The tens digit = $\"a\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Let the units digit = $\"b\"$
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"+a+=+b+%2B+3+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(2) $\"+10a+%2B+b+-+27+=+10b+%2B+a+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "(2) $\"+9a+-+9b+=+27+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(2) $\"+a+-+b+=+3+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"b\"$ could be $\"6\"$
\n" ); document.write( "then the number would be 96
\n" ); document.write( "96 - 69 = 27
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Suppose the number had been 85, the
\n" ); document.write( "85 - 58 = 27
\n" ); document.write( "So, 85 works also
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Suppose the number had been 74
\n" ); document.write( "74 - 47 = 27
\n" ); document.write( "so, 74 works also
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "And if it was 63
\n" ); document.write( "63 - 36 = 27
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "52
\n" ); document.write( "52 - 25 = 27
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "41
\n" ); document.write( "41 - 14 = 27
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "30
\n" ); document.write( "30 - 3 = 27
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "30,41,52,63,74,85,96 are all solutions \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
