begin mathsize 20px style Let space the space unit apostrophe straight s space digit space be space straight x space and space the space ten apostrophe straight s space digit space be space straight y. Given space that space straight x plus straight y equals 9 space space space.... left parenthesis straight i right parenthesis So comma space the space number space is space 10 straight x plus straight y. If space 27 space is space subtracted space from space the space number comma space its space digit apostrophe straight s space are space reversed. So comma space we space have 10 straight x plus straight y minus 27 equals 10 straight y plus straight x rightwards double arrow 9 straight x minus 9 straight y equals 27 rightwards double arrow straight x minus straight y equals 3 space space.... left parenthesis ii right parenthesis Adding space space left parenthesis straight i right parenthesis space and space left parenthesis ii right parenthesis comma space we space get 2 straight x equals 12 rightwards double arrow straight x equals 6 Substituting space straight x equals 6 space in space left parenthesis straight i right parenthesis comma space we space get space straight y equals 3. Hence comma space the space number space is space 63. end style
