Suppose that we are given a two digit number $AB$, where $A$ and $B$ represents the digits, i.e 21 would be A=2 , B=1. I wish to prove that the sum of $AB$ and $BA$ is always divisible by $11$.
My initial idée was to use the fact that if a number is divisible by $11$ then the sum of its digits with alternating sign is also divisible by 11. For example
$$1-2+3-3+2-1=0 $$
so $11$ divides $123321$. So my proof would then be to consider the two digit number $(A+B)(B+A)$ or $CC$ which clearly is divisible by $11$ by the above statement if $C$ is $1$ through $9$. However, I am having truble justifying the case were $A+B$ is greater than or equal to $10$ and it got me wondering if the more generel is true: Let $ABCD...$ be a $n-digit$ number, if $$A-B+C-... equiv 0 (mod 11)$$
then $$S=sum_{k=1}^{n}(A+B+C+...)10^{k} equiv0(mod 11)$$
I am not really familliar with the whole congruence thingy, so incase the above is trivial I would be greatful on some source which could aid the solving of the above . Any tips or suggestion are also very welcome

It's simpler than you are making it...and no congruences are needed:
We have $$overline {AB}=10A+B quad &quad overline {BA}=10B+A$$
It follows that $$overline {AB}+overline {BA}=11times (A+B)$$ and we are done.

If $A+Bgt 10$, then write it as $A+B=10+c$; note that $0leq cleq 8$, because two digits cannot add to $19$. That means that when you do the carry, the second digit is $(c+1)$, and so $AB+BA$ will be a three digit number: $1$, then $c+1$, and then $c$. At this point, your test gives you $1-(c+1)+c = 0$, so you get a multiple of $11$.
