Answer provided by our tutors
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.
