The ten's digit of a 2-digit number is greater than the units digit by 2. If we subtract 18 from the number, the new number obtained is a number formed by interchange of the digits. Find the number.
Let the unit's digit of the number be $$y$$ and ten's digit be $$x$$
=> Number = $$10x + y$$
According to ques, =>$$x - y = 2$$ --------------(i)
According to question, => $$10x + y - 18 = 10y + x$$
=> $$9x - 9y = 18$$
=> $$x - y = \frac{18}{9} = 2$$ --------------(ii)
Equations (i) and (ii) are same and thus we have two variables and one equation
Number can be = 97 , 86 , 75 , 64 and so on and thus the solution cannot be determined.
