Problem Statement

Determine all functions f:R→Rf:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}, where R\mathbb{R} is the set of all real numbers, satisfying the following two conditions: 1) There exists a real number MM such that for every real number x,f(x)<Mx,f(x)<M is satisfied. 2) For every pair of real numbers xx and yy, f(xf(y))+yf(x)=xf(y)+f(xy) f(xf(y))+yf(x)=xf(y)+f(xy) is satisfied.
