You can put this solution on YOUR website! let the digit in tens place be x
& in the units place be y
..
10y+x=10x+y+36
9y-9x=36
/9
y-x=4.....................1
...
x+y=3(x-y)
x+y=3x-3y
2x-4y=0
/2
x-2y=0....................2
Add equation1 & 2
-y=4
y=-4
plug value of y in 1
y-x=4
-4-x=4
x=-8
...
-84 is the number
