Question 229903
<font face="Garamond" size="+2">


Let *[tex \Large x] represent the 10s digit of the original number and let *[tex \Large y] represent the 1s digit.


The sum of the digits is 9:  *[tex \LARGE x + y = 9 \rightarrow\ x = 9 - y]


The value of the original number:  *[tex \LARGE 10x + y]


Double the original number:  *[tex \LARGE 2(10x + y)]


Less 36: *[tex \LARGE 2(10x+y)-36]


The number with the digits reversed:  *[tex \LARGE 10y + x]


So:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \2(10x+y)-36\ =\ 10y+x]


Substituting:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \2(10(9-y)+y)-36\ =\ 10y+(9-y)]


Solve for *[tex \LARGE y] and then solve *[tex \LARGE x + y = 9] for *[tex \LARGE x]
