Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

GCF = x+y

Factor out the GCF. (Write the GCF first. Then, in parentheses, divide each term by the GCF.)

$\tt \red{\implies \: (x + y) ( \tfrac{(x + y) {}^{2} }{x + y} + \frac{ - 2(x + y)}{x + y} )}$

$\bf \pink{\dashrightarrow(x + y)(x + y - 2)}$

1. Ask: When will (x+y)(x+y-2)equal zero?

When x+y=0 or x+y−2=0

2.Solve each of the 2 equations above.

x=-y,2-y
