Answer:
Let xy be the two digit number.
Let x be the digit in ten's place.
Let y be the digit in one's place.
Therefore the two digit number would be 10x+y. ----- (*)
Given that sum of two digit number = 12.
x + y = 12 ------ (1).
Given that if 36 is subtracted from the number the digits change their places.
10x + y - 36 = 10y + x
9x - 9y = -36
x - y = -4 ------ (2)
On solving (1) and (2), we get
x + y = 12
x - y = -4
--------------
2x = 8
x = 4
Substitute x = 4 in (1), we get
4 + y = 12
y = 12 - 4
y = 8.
Substitute x & y values in (*), we get 10x + y = 10(4) + 8
= 48.
Therefore the number is 48.
