The number with the given characteristics is 17

<h3>How to determine the numbers?</h3>

Let the tens be x and the units be y.

So, the number is 10x + y

The relationship between the digits is

y = x + 6

The relationship between the number and the reverse is

2(10x + y + 10y + x) = 6 + 10 * (10x + y)

Simplify the second equation

2(11x + 11y) = 6 + 100x + 10y

Open the brackets

22x + 22y = 6 + 100x + 10y

Substitute y = x + 6

22x + 22(x + 6) = 6 + 100x + 10(x + 6)

Expand

22x + 22x + 132 = 6 + 100x + 10x + 60

Collect like terms

22x + 22x - 100x - 10x = 6 + 60 - 132

Evaluate the like terms

-66x = -66

Divide by -66

x = 1

Substitute x = 1 in y = x + 6

y = 1 + 6

y = 7

Recall that the number is 10x + y

So, we have

Number = 10 * 1 + 7

Evaluate

Number = 17

Hence, the number is 17
