2(1)/(2)(xy)^2:5xy^2 What's the answer? Can anyone help pls!!

Simplifying

x2y + xy2 + -5xy = 0

Reorder the terms:

-5xy + xy2 + x2y = 0

Solving

-5xy + xy2 + x2y = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), 'xy'.

xy(-5 + y + x) = 0

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 '(-5 + y + x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying

-5 + y + x = 0

Reorder the terms:

-5 + x + y = 0

Solving

-5 + x + y = 0

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '5' to each side of the equation.

-5 + x + 5 + y = 0 + 5

Reorder the terms:

-5 + 5 + x + y = 0 + 5

Combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0

0 + x + y = 0 + 5

x + y = 0 + 5

Combine like terms: 0 + 5 = 5

x + y = 5

Add '-1y' to each side of the equation.

x + y + -1y = 5 + -1y

Combine like terms: y + -1y = 0

x + 0 = 5 + -1y

x = 5 + -1y

Simplifying

x = 5 + -1y

Solution

x = {5 + -1y}

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 0.25x times 3. (could be wrong on equation.)

b) 2.25 pound of dark chocolate. (can i eat all the chocolate? plz? anyway, again, could be wrong, but i hope im right. all the chocolate together should be 5.25 pounds)

have a good day!
