Let the digit at ones place be x
digit at tens place = 12 – x
Hence the number = ( 12–x ) 10 + x
= 120 – 10x + x
= 120 – 9x
Reverse digit number = ( x × 10 ) + ( 12– x )
= 10x + 12 – x
= 9x + 12
According to question
9x + 12 = 120 – 9x + 54
9x + 9x = 174 – 12
18x = 162
x = 162 / 18
x = 9
Hence, original number = 120 – 9x
= 120 – 81
= 39
