When you reverse the digits in a certain two digit number you decrease its value by 36 find the number if the sum of its digits is 10?

If we do so we decrease the first number by 18. So,

#10a+b-18=10b+a#


# or, 10a-a+b-10b=18#
# or, 9a-9b=18#
# or, 9 (a-b)=18#
# or, (a-b)=(18/9)#
# or, (a-b)=2#...... (2)

Solving equation (1) and (2)
#a+b=10#... (1)
#a-b=2#... (2)

In equation (2).
#a-b=2#
# or, a=2+b#

Substitute in equation (1).
#a+b=10#
# or, 2+b+b=10#
# or, 2+2b=10#
# or, 2 (1+b)=10#
# or, 1+b=(10/2)#
# or, 1+b=5#
#:.b=5-1=4#

Re substitute in equation (1)
#a+b=10#
# or, a+4=10#
#:.a=10-4=6#

The numbers are #4# and #6#

Hi sum of its digits is 10 Let x and (10-x)represent the unit and tens digits of this certain two-digit number Question states*** Note: [10*(10-x)+ x] the original number 10*x + (10-x) = [10*(10-x)+ x] - 36 Solving for x 9x + 10 = 100 - 9x - 36 18x = 54 x = 3, the units digit, 7 the ten digit, the Number is 73 CHECKING our Answer***

37 = 73 - 36
