The general function is:1. y = a*x+bb is irrelevant and we can be removed2. y = a*xlets split x into ones and tens3. x = tens*10 + ones /e.g. 23 = 2*10 + 34. p1 = Multiplier of the onesp2 = Multiplier of the tens5. y = tens*10*p2 + ones*p1 /according to the question6. x*a = tens*10*p2 + ones*p1 /according to 2.7. (tens*10 + ones)*a = tens*10*p2 + ones*p1 /according to 3.8. tens*10*a + ones*a = tens*10*p2 + ones*p1 /regroup9. tens*10*a - tens*10*p2 + ones*a - ones*p1 = 0 /regroup10. tens*10*(a-p2) + ones*(a-p1) = 0 /regroup11. assuming "tens" and "ones" are not 0 then (a-p2) and (a-p1) must be 012. a-p2 = 0a-p1 = 013. a = p2a = p114. a = p1 = p2the answer is: when the Multipliers of ones and tens are equal then the product is called a.
There are 2 tens in 23
2 tens 3 ones. 20+3
two hundred and thirty23 x 10 = 230
31 tens(310)
