Let the unit digit of the number be x and 10's digit be y.

Now, According to the question,

x+y=9.......(1)24323

Also

9(10y+x)=2(10x+y)

\Rightarrow 90y+9x=20x+2y

\Rightarrow 88y-11x=0

\Rightarrow 8y-x=0.........(2)

Now adding (1) and (2) we get,

\Rightarrow 9y=9

\Rightarrow y=1

now putting this value in (1)

x+1=9

\Rightarrow x=8

Hence the number is 18.
