Answers
Answer:-
Let the digit at ten's place be x and digit at one's place be y.
The number = 10x + y.
Given:
Sum of the digits = 9
⟶ x + y = 9
⟶ x = 9 - y -- equation (1).
And,
If 27 is subtracted from the number, the digits are reversed.
According to the above condition,
⟶ 10x + y - 27 = 10y + x
Substitute the value of x from equation (1)
⟶ 10(9 - y) + y - 27 = 10y + 9 - y
⟶ 90 - 10y + y - 10y + y = 27 + 9
⟶ - 18y = 36 - 90
⟶ y = - 54/ - 18
⟶ y = 3
Substitute the value of y in equation (1).
⟶ x = 9 - y
⟶ x = 9 - 3
⟶ x = 6
The number = 10(6) + 3 = 60 + 3 = 63.
∴ The required two digit number is 63.

Let me draw an equation.
Assume Z is the Numer and it was a two digit number so,
Z = x+10y
x + y = 9
Z - 27 = 10x + y
Z = 10x + y + 27
10x + y + 27 = x + 10y
27 = x + 10y -10x -y
9y -9x = 27
9(y-x) = 27
y - x = (27/9) = 3
x + y = 9
2y = 12
y = 6
x + y = 9
x + 6 = 9
x = 3
Z = 3 + (10*6)
Z = 3 + 60 = 63
Z = 63
