\"N=10t%2Bu\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"t\" = tens digit of \"N\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"u\" = units digit of \"N\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"T%2Bu\" = sum of digits of \"N\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\"N%2B2=10t%2Bu%2B2\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "If \"u%2B2%3C10\", then
\n" ); document.write( "\"u%2B2\" is the units digit of \"N%2B2=10t%2Bu%2B2\",
\n" ); document.write( "\"t\" is the tens digit of \"N%2B2\",
\n" ); document.write( "\"t%2Bu%2B2%3Et%2Bu\" is the sum of digits of \"N%2B2\",
\n" ); document.write( "and \"N\" is not a solution.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "If \"u%2B2%3E=10\" <--> \"highlight%28u%3E=8%29\", then
\n" ); document.write( "the units digit of \"N%2B2=10t%2Bu%2B2=10%28t%2B1%29%2Bu%2B2-10\" is
\n" ); document.write( "\"u%2B2-10=u-8\", and
\n" ); document.write( "\"t%2B1\" is the tens digit of \"N%2B2\".
\n" ); document.write( "Then, the sum of digits of \"N%2B2\" is
\n" ); document.write( "and \"N\" is a solution.
\n" ); document.write( "All numbers ending in 8 or 9 are solutions.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Examples of solutions for N: 18, 19, 28, 29, 38, 39, ...
\n" ); document.write( "N=18, sum of digits of 18=9, N+2=20, sum of digits of N+2 = 2
