The sum of a two-digit number and the number obtained by reversing the digit is 66. If the digits of the number

differ by 2, find the number. How many such numbers are there?

ab+ba=66
10a+b+10b+a=66
11a+11b=66
a+b=6

according to the problem
a-b=2

a+b=6
a-b=2
a=4,b=2

42+24=66

not sure that i understand how many numbers are here, to me only one 42
