1. Factor the equation (x + 2)(x + 3) = 0. 2. Set each factor equal to zero: x + 2 = 0 and x + 3 = 0. 3. Solve for x: x = -2 and x = -3.

Solve xy = yx | Equatix

Question

$$xy=yx$$

Solve for x (complex solution)

$x\in \mathrm{C}$

Solution Steps

Subtract $yx$ from both sides.

$$xy-yx=0$$

Combine $xy$ and $-yx$ to get $0$.

$$0=0$$

Compare $0$ and $0$.

$$\text{true}$$

This is true for any $x$.

$$x\in \mathrm{C}$$

Show Solution

Solve for y (complex solution)

$y\in \mathrm{C}$

Solution Steps

Subtract $yx$ from both sides.

$$xy-yx=0$$

Combine $xy$ and $-yx$ to get $0$.

$$0=0$$

Compare $0$ and $0$.

$$\text{true}$$

This is true for any $y$.

$$y\in \mathrm{C}$$

Show Solution

Solve for x

$x\in \mathrm{R}$

Solution Steps
