Question 516904: The tens digit is 6 less than the units digit of a two digit number. When the digits are reversed the sum of the two numbers is 132. What is the original number? Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! let the number be represented by xy
x=y-6
x-y=-6...........1
10y+x+10x+y=132
11x+11y=132
/11
x+y = 12.............2
Add (1) & (2)
2x=6
x=3
so plug x in 1
y=9
The number is 39
