Let the digits of the number be x and y respectively.
\n" ); document.write( "Let the tens digit be x and the units digit be y.
\n" ); document.write( "The number is (10x+y)
\n" ); document.write( "x+y=14..........equation 1
\n" ); document.write( "When the digits are reversed the new tens digit is y and the new units digit is x.
\n" ); document.write( "When the digits are reversed the new number is (10y+x)
\n" ); document.write( "10y+x=36+(10x+y)
\n" ); document.write( "9y=36+9x
\n" ); document.write( "y=4+x..........equation 2
\n" ); document.write( "Substituting equation 2 in equation 1.
\n" ); document.write( "x+4+x=14
\n" ); document.write( "2x+4=14
\n" ); document.write( "2x=10
\n" ); document.write( "x=5
\n" ); document.write( "y=9
\n" ); document.write( "The original number is 59.
\n" ); document.write( "
