Evaluate
{yx=41xy41xy=30
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
yx=41xy
Rewrite the expression
yx=4xy
Cross multiply
x×4=yxy
Simplify the equation
4x=yxy
Simplify the equation
4x=y2x
Move the expression to the left side
4x−y2x=0
Factor the expression
x(4−y2)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x=0∪4−y2=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
4−y2=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−y2=0−4
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−y2=−4
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
y2=4
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
y=±4
Simplify the expression
y=±2
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
y=2∪y=−2
x=0∪y=2∪y=−2
