What two-digit number is equal to twice the product of its digits?
-------------
Every two digit number can be written as 10t+u where t is the tens
digit and u is the ones digit.
----------------------
EQUATION:
10t+u = 2(t+u)
10t+u = 2t+2u
8t= u
t = (1/8)u
----------------
If u=8 then t = 1
--------------
Number:
The number is 18
