Answer:
35
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x and y be the digits of the number. The number is 10x+y
sum of the digits is 8 => x + y = 8. -------------> Equation 1
number obtained by interchanging the digits of a two digit number is 18 more than the original number
=> (10y+x) - (10x+y) = 18
=> 9y - 9x = 2
=> y - x = 2 --------------------> Equation 2
Add equation 1 and Equation 2.
x + y = 8
-x+y = 2
--------------
2y = 10 => y = 5.
----------------------------
Substitute in y = 5 in equation 1
x + y = 8 => x + 5 = 8 => x =3.
Thus the original number is 35
