Sophie's favorite number is a two-digit number. If she reverses the digits, the result is 45  less than her favorite number. The sum of the digits in her favorite number is 11. What is Sophie's favorite number?

10 x  + y  = 45   +   10y   + x              and   x+y = 11    or y = 11-x     sub this into the first equation

 

10x + 11-x  = 45 + 10(11-x) + x     and solve for 'x'

9x + 11 = 45 +110-9x

18x = 144

x = 8     then y = 3          favorite number is   83        reversed = 38 which is  45 less than 83
