This is a simultaneous equation question:
x-2y = -4
2x-y = 1
Multiply all terms in the top equation by 2:
2x-4y = -8
2x-y = 1
Subtract the bottom equation from the top equation remembering that a minus minus equals a plus:
-3y = -9
Divide both sides of the equation by -3 to find the value of y remembering that a minus divided by a minus equals a plus:
y = 3
Substitute the value of y into the original equations to find the value of x:
Solution: x = 2 and y = 3

How do you solve 8 plus x2y?
i don't get that if it is 2xy +8 or 8 + 2xy then you can't solve or simplify it any further if it were 8 x 2y then you time the 8 by the 2 to get 16y
Solve the equation y' plus x2y equals x2?

Find dyoverdx by implicit differentiation xy2 minus x2y equals 3xy?
Whooop!
What is 4xy plus x3y plus yx2 plus yx plus 3yx simplified?
4xy + x3y + yx2 + yx + 3yx = x3y + x2y + 8xy = (xy)(x2y + x + 8)
How do you factor 3x3-x2y plus 12x-4y?
3x3 - x2y + 12x - 4y = x2*(3x - y) + 4*(3x - y) = (x2 + 4)*(3x - y)
