Let m and n be the digits in your two digit number. Then:
\n" ); document.write( "2m-3=n
\n" ); document.write( "10m+n+6=9n
\n" ); document.write( "So, substituting for n, we get:
\n" ); document.write( "10m+2m-3+6=9(2m-3)
\n" ); document.write( "12m+3=18m-27
\n" ); document.write( "6m=30
\n" ); document.write( "m=5
\n" ); document.write( "n=7
\n" ); document.write( "The number is 57. ☺☺☺☺ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
