Problem
Find the two -digit numbers which become nine times as large if the order of the digits is reversed.
Solution
The pair of numbers are and
1098910989$.
Notice that the sum of two numbers is 10 times of the smaller one. Let the smaller one be$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg)a_9a_8a_7a_6a_5a_4a_3a_2a_1a_0a_0a_1a_2a_3a_4a_5a_6a_7a_8a_9

a_0=9
(a_8=0, a_1=8)
(a_7=8, a_2=0)
(a_6=9, a_3=1)
(a_5=0, a_4=0)$.
Mistake Above Fix
The actual two numbers are , as mentioned above, but the second number is
, not
.
Someone please fix.
