Answer:
Let the number be xy = 10x + y
Given: x + y = 9 ... (1)
Reverse number = 2 x Original number + 18
10y + x = 2(10x + y) + 18
10y + x = 20x + 2y + 18
19x - 8y + 18 = 0 ... (2)
Substituting the value of y from (1) in (2), we get,
19x - 8(9 - x) + 18 = 0
19x - 72 + 8x + 18 = 0
27x = 54
x = 2
So, y = 9 - 2 = 7
Thus, the original number is 27.
