Alison chose a two-digit number, divided by 2, multiplied by 9 and then reversed the digits.

Her answer was the same as her original number!

Let the first digit be x

Let the second digit be y, then we have:

(10x + y) / 2 X 9=(10y + x), there is only one solution for a two-digit number:

It turns out that x=1 and y=8, so the number is:18 because,

18/2 X 9=81, which when reversed you get the original number of 18
