Answer:
implifying
2x + 2y = 4xy
Solving
2x + 2y = 4xy
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-4xy' to each side of the equation.
2x + -4xy + 2y = 4xy + -4xy
Combine like terms: 4xy + -4xy = 0
2x + -4xy + 2y = 0
Add '-2y' to each side of the equation.
2x + -4xy + 2y + -2y = 0 + -2y
Combine like terms: 2y + -2y = 0
2x + -4xy + 0 = 0 + -2y
2x + -4xy = 0 + -2y
Remove the zero:
2x + -4xy = -2y
Combine like terms: -2y + 2y = 0
2x + -4xy + 2y = 0
Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '2'.
2(x + -2xy + y) = 0
Ignore the factor 2.
Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(x + -2xy + y)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:
Simplifying
x + -2xy + y = 0
Solving
x + -2xy + y = 0
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-1y' to each side of the equation.
x + -2xy + y + -1y = 0 + -1y
Combine like terms: y + -1y = 0
x + -2xy + 0 = 0 + -1y
x + -2xy = 0 + -1y
Remove the zero:
x + -2xy = -1y
