The sum of a the digits of a 2-digit number is 12. If the digits are interchanged, the new number exceeds the old number by 36. What is the number?"
Let's represent the number as 10*a + b, and the number with the digits reversed as 10*b + a.
We know that
a + b = 12 (1)
and that
10 * b + a = 10 * a + b + 36 (2)
So
9 * b - 9 * a = 36
b - a = 4 (3)
Adding (1) and (3):
2 * b = 16 => b = 8
From (1), a = 4
So our initial number is 48 and the digits-reversed number is 84:
48 + 36 = 84.
my dear friend make me as brainliest.

Answer:
Sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 12. The given number exceeds the number obtained by interchanging the digits by 36. Find the given
number.
The tens digit of the required number be x
and the units digit be y
\huge\underline {Then,}
Then,
x + y = 12 ......... eq. (1)
Required number = (10x + y)
Number obtained on reversing the digits = (10y + x)
(10y + x) - (10x + y) = 18
9y - 9x = 18
x - y = 12 ......... eq. (2)<br>
On adding eq. (1) and eq. (2)
x + y + y - x = 12 +2
2y = 14
y = 2
x = 5
Hence, the required number is 57
