Question
Simplify the expression
xy−x2y2
Evaluate
xy×xx×y−x−xy×0y
Any expression multiplied by 0 equals 0
xy×xx×y−x−0y
Divide the terms
xy×1×y−x−0y
Any expression multiplied by 1 remains the same
xy×y−x−0y
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
xy×y−xy
Multiply the terms
x(y−x)y×y
Multiply the terms
x(y−x)y2
Solution

Evaluate
xx×y−x−xy×0
Any expression multiplied by 0 equals 0
xx×y−x−0
Divide the terms
1×y−x−0
Any expression multiplied by 1 remains the same
y−x−0
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
y−x
y−x=0
Move the expression to the right side
−x=0−y
Simplify
−x=−y
Divide both sides
x=y
x=0x=y
Solution
x=0,x=y
