I just tested the options.
Let t be the ten's digit and u be the unit;s digit, then
t + u = 1 2 ⟹ 1
1 0 u + t + 5 4 = 1 0 t + u
9 u − 9 t = − 5 4
u − t = − 6 ⟹ 2
Adding 1 and 2 , we get
2 u = 6
u = 3
It follows that
t = 1 2 − 3 = 9
So the number is 3 9 .

If the number is A B , we have ( 1 0 B + A ) − ( 1 0 A + B ) = 9 ( B − A ) = 5 4 , so B − A = 6 . We are given that B + A = 1 2 , so B = 9 and A = 3 . Thus, the number is 3 9 .
