Reversed Multiple Pair

Question

Intro

Two numbers are a reversed multiple pair if they satisfy the following property:

$$ a\cdot b = \operatorname{reversed}( (a-1)\cdot b ) $$

Here, \$\operatorname{reversed}()\$ means to reverse the digits of a number (e. g 123 becomes 321.)

Example

$$ a=6,\quad b=9,\quad 6\cdot 9=54,\quad 5\cdot 9=45 $$

As you can see, \$45\$ is the reversed version of \$54\$.

Task

Given two integers, \$a\$ and \$b\$, output if these two numbers is a reversed multiple pair.

Test Cases

6 9 => True
4 5 => False
3 2178 => True
34 2079 => True
7 8 => False
600 100 => False
46 1089 => True
817 503 => False
6 9009 => True
321 81 => False
10 1089 => False

Shortest code wins!

Suggest test case: 321 81 => False. An answer checking b for divisibility with 9 will pass all existing test cases but not this one. — chunes, Jan 29, 2022 at 21:43
Is 10 1089 truthy or falsy? Currently, different answers don't agree on this testcase. — tsh, Jan 30, 2022 at 2:55
May I assume inputs are positive? Or what is expected output for -5 9? — tsh, Jan 30, 2022 at 6:53

^(_+),\1$

Try it online! Link includes test cases. Explanation: Based on @ovs' 05AB1E answer.

L$`.+,

Match a as $& (Retina ignores the trailing comma when performing arithmetic) and b as $' and replace the whole input with the result.

*$'*_,$($^$.(*$'*))*_$'*

Calculate a*b and also rev(a*b)+b in unary.

^(_+),\1$

See whether they are the same.

Try It On GeoGebra!

Input is a and b, output is o as true if a and b are a reversed multiple pair, false otherwise.

The example input shown in the code is a=6 and b=9, but you can change these values to whatever you want.

\$\begingroup\$ Instead of all of this, you can just do fn($a,$b)=>$a*$b==+strrev($b*($a-1));. This creates an anonymous function and does the casting to a number in fewer bytes. This syntax was introduced in PHP 8.0. You can see it working for yourself here: sandbox.onlinephpfunctions.com/code/… \$\endgroup\$
