Question
What is the smallest number which is reversed when two is added to it?
10x + y + 2 = 10y + x
9x - 9y + 2 = 0
9x - 9y = -2
x - y = (-2/9)
-y = -x - (2/9)
y = x + (2/9)
Thats as far as i could get, to figuring out the number, hopefully you can do the rest.
For most of them, i get x to be a fraction, which can't be possible, since the number you are talking about is suppose to be a whole number.
