First hint
Let the ones digit place be y and ten's place be x
Therefore the number be \(10x+y\)
Can you now finish the problem ..........
Second Hint
Given that the product of the digits plus the sum of the digits is equal to the number
can you finish the problem........
Final Step
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
