let us consider the unit place digit as x and tens place digit as y.

The equations becomes 10y + x……..equation (1)

From the question, a two-digit number is 3 more than 4 times the sum of its digits

∴from the above condition, 4(y + x) + 3……… equation (2)

Combining equation 1 and 2

4(y + x) + 3 = 10y + x

4y + 4x + 3 = 10y + x

4x – x + 4y – 10y = -3

3x – 6y = -3

3(x – 2y) = -3

x -2y = -1 …………..equation (3)

From the second condition, If 18 is added to the number, its digits are reversed

∴the reversed number is 10x + y……..equation (4)

∴by the given condition

(10y + x) + 18 = 10x + y

10y – y =10x –x -18

9y – 9x = -18

9(y – x) = -18

y – x = -2 ……….equation (5)

Solving equation 3 and 5 simultaneously we get,

y=3 and x = 5

∴The required number is (10y + x) = (10(3) + 5) = 30 + 5 = 35
