Modern Puzzles by Henry Ernest Dudeney: $60$

Digital Coincidences
If I multiply, and also add, $9$ and $9$, I get $81$ and $18$, which contain the same figures.
If I multiply and add $2$ and $47$ I get $94$ and $49$ -- the same figures.
If I multiply and add $3$ and $24$ I get the same figures -- $72$ and $27$.
Can you find two numbers that, when multiplied and added will, in this simple manner, produce the same three figures?
