Solution
Let's denote the tens digit as X and the units digit as Y.
Given that the sum of the two digits is 12, we can write this as: X + Y = 12 ---- (1)
The difference between the two-digit number and the number obtained by interchanging the digits is 18. This can be written as: 10X + Y - (10Y + X) = 18 This simplifies to: 9X - 9Y = 18 Dividing through by 9 gives: X - Y = 2 ---- (2)
Now we have a system of two equations, and we can solve it. Adding equation (1) and equation (2) gives: 2X = 14 So, X = 7.
Substituting X = 7 into equation (1) gives: 7 + Y = 12 So, Y = 5.
The product of the two digits is therefore 7 * 5 = 35.
So, the correct answer is 35.
