<p dir="auto">Just a tiny note: although your solution is completely correct, for more "formal" proofs you'll want to start from B = 9 and then show how you can manipulate the equation into {AB} = AB + A + B, in order to show that "any 2-digit number ending with 9 (B = 9) has the property {AB} = AB + A + B." That's just because sometimes, when you go from the property you want to prove is true, to the condition (e.g. a 2-digit number ending in 9), you might use a step that isn't reversible, like squaring both sides. (Example: squaring the "equation" 3 = -3 gives 9 = 9, which is true. But clearly, 3 =/= -3!)</p>
<p dir="auto">In this case, there aren't any irreversible steps - just subtracting something and dividing by something nonzero - it's just interesting to keep in mind. <img src="https://forum.poshenloh.com/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f642.png?v=ff6ihtm7emg" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--slightly_smiling_face" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title="(:" alt="🙂" /></p>
