    The original number is 84.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the number be xy.

    Then x = 2y.

    The numerical value of xy is 10x + y,

    so 10y + x = 10x + y - 36.

    9y - 9x = - 36

    y - x = - 4

    Substitute for x in the above equation:

    y - 2y = - 4

    -y = - 4

    So y = 4

    and x = 2y = 8.

    The number is 84

    Step-by-step explanation:

    x = unit digit

    10 (2 x) + x = 10 x + 2 x + 36

    9 x = 36

    x = 4 (4 is the unit digit, which is half of the tens digit, so the tens digit is 8)

    Number is 84

    The reverse of 84 is 48

    48 is 36 less than 84

    84 = 48 + 36
