How did you get the answer?
Let's the phone number is xabycdef. Because we have to sum two pairs of 5-digits and 3-digits number. So it can conducted that x=6 and y=6. We have:
6cdef 6ab6c
6ab def
------- --------
66558 65577
From the first sum, d + 6 = ..5 => c + 1 = 6 => c=5
From the last digits in second sum: c + f = 5 + f = 7 => f = 2
Similarly, f + b = 8 => b=6
From the second sum: b + d = ..5 => a + 1 = 5 => a = 4
Go further, you will find the phone number is 64665912
