In a two-digit number,
Let x = the 10's digit
Let y = the units
then
10x+y = the number
:
'ten's digit is twice the units digit."
x = 2y
:
The number formed by interchanging the digits is 36 less than the original number
10y + x = 10x + y - 36
10y - y = 10x - x - 36
9y = 9x - 36
Simplify, divide by 9, results
y = x - 4
From the 1st statement; replace x with 2y
y = 2y - 4
4 = 2y - y
4 = y
then
x = 2(4)
x = 8
84 is the number:

2x(10) + x(1) = 21x
because 2x is in 10th place and x is in ones place
and by reversing
10x + 2x = 12x
21x - 12x = 36
9x = 36
x = 4
1st no is 2(4) = 8
2nd no is 1(4) = 4
so 84 / 48 is the no
