\"10t%2Bu\" the two digit number.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"10t%2Bu%2B10t%2Bu=%2810t%2Bu%29\"-----? Product with WHAT? With itself?\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"10t%2Bu%2B10t%2Bu=%2810t%2Bu%29%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"20t%2B2u=100t%5E2%2B20tu%2Bu%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "Not sure that this is even within College Algebra, seeing a \"tu\" term, and only one equation but two variables. You expect only t and u are digits. One way although lengthy, is solve for t and test all values of u from the digits 0 through 9. With each of those u values, finish solving for t, which also must be a digit.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Just checking your expected \"22\",
\n" ); document.write( "10*2+2+10*2+2=22*22
\n" ); document.write( "20+2+20+2=2*2*11*11
\n" ); document.write( "44=4*121
\n" ); document.write( "NO GOOD!\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Better, what is the exact problem description and question, word-for-word?\r

\n" ); document.write( "New Description: Sum of the digits is equal to the product of the digits, for an unknown two digit number.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "t and u for the Tens place and the Ones place.
\n" ); document.write( "\"t%2Bu=t%2Au\"
\n" ); document.write( "Just one equation but two unknown variables.
\n" ); document.write( "You know that u and t must be from the set of digits. You can start with u at 0 and cycle through to u at 9 and solve t for each case until something works (meaning t is found as a digit). You first find that u=0 gives you nothing.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"t-tu=-u\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"t%281-u%29=-u\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"t=-u%2F%281-u%29\"
