Full solution

Q. x+xy+y=64x+y=? x+x y+y=64 \quad x+y=?
  1. Factor out x: Factor out x from the terms involving x.\newlinex(1+y)+y=64x(1+y) + y = 64
  2. Common factor substitution: Notice that x+yx+y is a common factor.\newlineLet's set x+yx+y equal to some variable, say zz.\newlineSo, x+y=zx+y=z and x=zyx= z-y
  3. Substitute xx with zyz-y: Substitute xx with zyz-y in the equation.(zy)(1+y)+y=64(z-y)(1+y) + y = 64
  4. Distribute the terms: Distribute the terms. z+zyyy2+y=64z + zy - y - y^2 + y = 64
  5. Combine like terms: Combine like terms. z+zyy2=64z + zy - y^2 = 64
  6. Replace zyzy with xyxy: Since z=x+yz = x+y, replace zyzy with xyxy.x+y+xyy2=64x+y + xy - y^2 = 64
  7. Simplify the equation: We know that x+xy+y=64x+xy+y = 64, so by substitution:\newlinex+y+(x+xy+y)y2=64x+y + (x+xy+y) - y^2 = 64
  8. Substitution and simplification: Simplify the equation. x+y+64y2=64x+y + 64 - y^2 = 64
  9. Final simplification: Subtract 6464 from both sides.\newlinex+yy2=0x+y - y^2 = 0
