\n" ); document.write( "The difference between the 2-digit number AB and the2-digit number BA is 9 times the difference between the two digits A and B.

\n" ); document.write( "Since in this problem the difference between AB and BA is 36, the difference between A and B is 4.

\n" ); document.write( "Then with the difference between A and B being 4 and their sum being 10, it is easy to see the the two digits are 7 and 3.

\n" ); document.write( "Then you just need to read the problem to see that the number with the digits reversed is smaller; so the original number is 73.
