Given that the product of the digits plus the sum of the digits is equal to the number
can you finish the problem........
Let the ones digit place be y and ten's place be x
Therefore the number be \(10x+y\)
Now the product of the digits=\(xy\)
Given that the product of the digits plus the sum of the digits is equal to the number
Therefore \(10x+y=(x\times y)+(x+y)\)
\(\Rightarrow 9x=xy\)
\(\Rightarrow y=9\)
Therefore the unit digit =\(y\)=9
