Question 185384
{{{2xy +1 = xy +3}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{2xy +1 - xy =3}}} Subtract xy from both sides.



{{{2xy-xy=3-1}}} Subtract 1 from both sides.



{{{2xy-xy=2}}} Combine like terms.



{{{(2x-x)y=2}}} Factor out the GCF "y" on the left side.



{{{xy=2}}} Combine like terms.



{{{y=2/x}}} Divide both sides by "x" to isolate (solve for) "y".




----------------------------------------------




{{{y=2/2}}} Now plug in {{{x=2}}}



{{{y=1}}} Divide
