  = tens digit of  
  = units digit of  
  = sum of digits of  
 
  
 If
  , then 
  is the units digit of  , 
  is the tens digit of  , 
  is the sum of digits of  , and
  is not a solution. 
 If
  <-->  , then the units digit of
  is 
  , and 
  is the tens digit of  . Then, the sum of digits of
  is and
  is a solution. All numbers ending in 8 or 9 are solutions.
 
 Examples of solutions for N: 18, 19, 28, 29, 38, 39, ...
 N=18, sum of digits of 18=9, N+2=20, sum of digits of N+2 = 2
 N=19, sum of digits of 19=10, N+2=21, sum of digits of N+2 = 3
 N=28, sum of digits of 28=10, N+2=30, sum of digits of N+2 = 3
 N=29, sum of digits of 29=11, N+2=31, sum of digits of N+2 = 4
