Solution Preview
This is not solved by means of an equation, but rather by logical study/classification of all the possible pairs of digits
Let us write a two-digit number as "ab", so that the one with digits interchanged is "ba"
It is required that ba - ab > 36
Obviously a > 0 as ab must be an honest two-digit, and b > a.
For definiteness, let us name cd = ba - ab, where c and d are digits as ...
