Question 103837
The sum of the digits of two- digit numbers is 10. if the digits are reversed, the new number is 54 less than the original number. Find the original number. 
------------------
Every two digit number can be written as 10t+u where t is the ten's digit
and u is the unit's digit.
----------------------------
Your Problem:
EQUATIONS:
t+u = 10
10u+t= 10t+u-54
-------------------
Rearrange:
t+u=10
9t-9u=54
------------
Simplify:
1st; t+u=10
2nd: t-u=6
-------------
Add 1st and 2nd and solve for t,as follows:
2t = 16
t = 8
------------
Substitute in t+u=10 to solve for u:
8+u=10
u = 2
============
Original Number = 82
