Solution

Let the digit at tens place = xNow, the digit at units place = 2x - 6Now, original number = 10×x + 2x - 6 = 10x + 2x - 6 = 12x - 6When the digits are reversed, then new number = 102x-6 + x = 21x - 60Now, according to question :12x - 6 + 9 = 21x - 6012x + 3 = 21x - 6012x - 21x = -60 - 3-9x = -63x = 7So, original number = 12×7-6 = 84-6 = 78
