How would you solve 2xy-x in maths?

Question

its an equation

Answer 1

Other respondents here are correct.  It is an expression, and the factorization is X(2y-1).  If it WERE an equation, it could work out as follows...

Step one, turn it into an equation.  You have to make it equal to something.  In this case, I assume 0 (zero).  So...

2xy-x=0 is the same at 2xy=x

2y=1 (or X/X, which is 1)

y=1/2

Now plug is a number for X to check, like 5.

2*5*(1/2)-5 should equal 0.

10*(1/2)-5 does in fact equal 0.

Answer 2

factorize

x(2y-1)

Answer 4

No, it is an expression.

2xy - x

= x(2y - 1) (<== factorization)

Answer 5

You need to factorise:

x is common so isolate x:

Answer: x(2y-1)
