Answer:
32
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the tens digit be a and ones digit be b.
Then a + b = 5 (equation 1) and
10a + b — 9 = 10b + a (equation 2)
9a — 9 = 9b
a — 1 = b
a — b = 1 (equation 3)
But a + b = 5 (equation 1)
Adding equation 3 and equation 1 gives
2a = 6, which means a = 3 and b = 2
In other words, the number is 32
