  1. Let us assume x and y are the two digits of the number
    Therefore, two-digit number is = 10x + y and the reversed number = 10y + x
    Given:
    x + y = 12
    y = 12 – x ———–1
    Also given:
    10y + x – 10x – y = 18
    9y – 9x = 18
    y – x = 2 ————-2
    Substitute the value of y from eqn 1 in eqn 2
    12 – x – x = 2
    12 – 2x = 2
    2x = 10
    x = 5
    Therefore, y = 12 – x = 12 – 5 = 7
    Therefore, the two-digit number is 10x + y = (10*5) + 7 = 57
