Alright, it looks like the math geek must strike again.

Any two digit number can be represented by 10x + y.

When you pick a two digit number and then subtract the sum, you get the following:

(10x + y) - (x + y)

Expanding you get:

10x + y - x - y

And finally:

9x

So, your answer will be the first digit of the number you picked multiplied by nine, regardless of what your second number was.
