Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 8

10x + y is the original number

so 10y + x + 18 = 10x + y           Subtract 10y and x from both sides

18 = 10x - x + y - 10y                  Combine the right

18 = 9x - 9y                                Divide by 9

2 = x - y

x - y = 2

x + y= 8            Add to find x

2x = 10             Divide by 2

x = 5

x + y = 8

5 + y = 8

y = 3

The original number is 53
