word problems 

Answer 1

x+y = 8

that's either 17, 26, 35, 44, 53, 62, 71 or 80

reverse the digits gets a number 54 greater than 8 = 54+8 = 62

the original number is 26

reverse it and you get 62 which is exactly 54 +8

Answer 2

Original number

10t + o

Reversed number

10o + t

Reversed = original + 54
