    Solution

    Let the unit digit and tens digit of the original number be тАШyтАЩ and тАШxтАЩ, respectively.
    Original number = (10x + y)

    According to the data given:┬а
    10y + x = 1.5 ├Ч (10x + y) тИТ 39

    Multiplying both sides by 2,┬а
    20y + 2x = 30x + 3y тИТ 78┬а
    тЗТ 28x тИТ 17y = 78┬а тАж. (I)

    And, x + y = 6┬а тАж. (II)

    From (II), x = 6 тИТ y. Substitute in (I):┬а
    28(6 тИТ y) тИТ 17y = 78┬а
    168 тИТ 45y = 78┬а
    45y = 90┬а
    y = 2

    Then x = 6 тИТ 2 = 4.┬а
    So, original number = 10 ├Ч 4 + 2 = 42.
