Answer:
the two digits number should be written as
10x + y
x is in 10s place and y is in ones place
reversing the digits it becomes 10y + x
difference between the two is 27
(10x + y) - (10y + x) = 27
10x + y - 10y - x = 27
9x - 9y = 27
9(x - y) = 27
x - y = 27/9 = 3
x - y = 3
therefore the difference between the digits is 3

Step-by-step explanation:
let
the unit digit be =y
tenth digit be =x
then the number=10x+y
by interchanging its places the number becomes= 10y+x
the difference between number obtained by interchanging the digits is =27
since,
(10x+y)-(10y+x)=27
10x+y-10y-x=27
9x-9y=27
9(x-y)=27
x-y=27÷9
x-y=3
since,
the required answer is x-y=3
