Write your answers here: 8x^2 y+12xy^2 help
Answers
Answer:
Simplifying
8x2y + 12xy2 = 0
Reorder the terms:
12xy2 + 8x2y = 0
Solving
12xy2 + 8x2y = 0
Solving for variable 'x'.
Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '4xy'.
4xy(3y + 2x) = 0
Ignore the factor 4.
Subproblem 1
Set the factor 'xy' equal to zero and attempt to solve:
Simplifying
xy = 0
Solving
xy = 0
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Simplifying
xy = 0
The solution to this equation could not be determined.
This subproblem is being ignored because a solution could not be determined.
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(3y + 2x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:
Simplifying
3y + 2x = 0
Reorder the terms:
2x + 3y = 0
Solving
2x + 3y = 0
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-3y' to each side of the equation.
2x + 3y + -3y = 0 + -3y
Combine like terms: 3y + -3y = 0
2x + 0 = 0 + -3y
2x = 0 + -3y
Remove the zero:
2x = -3y
Divide each side by '2'.
x = -1.5y
Simplifying
x = -1.5y
Solution
x = {-1.5y}
