You can put this solution on YOUR website! let the tens digit =x
let the ones digit= y
The number is 10*x+y;; 10*y+x is the reverse
10x+y+9=10y+x
9x+9=9y. Divide everything in the equation by 9.
x+1=y
Their sum is 15.
x+x+1=15
2x=14
x=7
y=8
The number is 78
Add 9, and you get 87.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! This answer can be found without any algebra. Since the number is two digits and the digits add to 15,
the choices are 69, 78, 87, and 96. Adding 9 to 96 gives 105 a 3 digit number. Adding 9 to 87 gives 96, which isn't the reverse of 87.
And 69 + 9 = 78. Again, not the reverse.
So the answer is 78. 78 + 9 = 87
