Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two digit number be x in tenth place and y in unit place

Value of the digit = 10x+y\\

After swapping value of digit = 10y+x\\

Given that the new number he creates is three more than one third of the original number

one third of original number = \frac{10x+y}{3}

3 more than the above = \frac{10x+y}{3}+3

This equals new number

Hence [tex]\frac{10x+y}{3}+3=10y+x\\10x+y+9 = 30y+3x\\7x-29y =-9[/tex]

Also x,y lie between 0 and 9.

Hence only possibility is x =7 and y =2
