Determine how many two-digit numbers satisfy the following property: when the number is added to the number obtained by reversing its digits, the sum is
Solution
We can write the two digit number in the form of ; reverse of is . The sum of those numbers is: We can use brute force to find order pairs such that . Since and are both digits, both and have to be integers less than . Thus our ordered pairs are or ordered pairs.
