Solve 25-2xy=16+2xy

$$25 - 2 x y = 16 + 2 x y$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{9}{4y}$$

$$y\neq 0$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 2xy from both sides.

$$25-2xy-2xy=16$$

Combine -2xy and -2xy to get -4xy.

$$25-4xy=16$$

Subtract 25 from both sides.

$$-4xy=16-25$$

Subtract 25 from 16 to get -9.

$$-4xy=-9$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$\left(-4y\right)x=-9$$

Divide both sides by -4y.

$$\frac{\left(-4y\right)x}{-4y}=-\frac{9}{-4y}$$

Dividing by -4y undoes the multiplication by -4y.

$$x=-\frac{9}{-4y}$$

Divide -9 by -4y.

$$x=\frac{9}{4y}$$

Solve for y

$$y=\frac{9}{4x}$$

$$x\neq 0$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 2xy from both sides.

$$25-2xy-2xy=16$$

Combine -2xy and -2xy to get -4xy.

$$25-4xy=16$$

Subtract 25 from both sides.

$$-4xy=16-25$$

Subtract 25 from 16 to get -9.

$$-4xy=-9$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$\left(-4x\right)y=-9$$

Divide both sides by -4x.

$$\frac{\left(-4x\right)y}{-4x}=-\frac{9}{-4x}$$

Dividing by -4x undoes the multiplication by -4x.

$$y=-\frac{9}{-4x}$$

Divide -9 by -4x.

$$y=\frac{9}{4x}$$
