let the digits of the two digit number be


x on the one'e place

y on the tent's place


then we can write the number is 10y + x


the sum of the digits of the number is 9


x + y = 9


the number is 12 times the tens digit


10y + x = 12y


by solving the system of equations


x + y = 9

10y + x = 12y


we find


x = 6


y = 3


the number is 36.
