what is the relationship of x and y in 7(x-y)=0

directrix · Answer

This is an odd question.

The only thing I know about it is that if 7 and (x-y) multiply to zero, then

7(x-y)=0
Apply Zero Product Property

7 = 0 or x-y =0

@rislam21   If x - y = 0, then solve for x.  What do you get? That will tell you the relationship between x and y.

I find the question strange myself, but how would I solve for x ?

directrix · Answer

Picking up from here:  7 = 0 or x-y =0.

Observe that 7 cannot equal 0, so forget that.

Then, take the equation x - y = 0.
Add y to both sides of the equation (Addition Property of Equality).

Then, post what you get, and I'll tell you what I got. Okay?  @rislam21

x=y ?

directrix · Answer

That is what I got so the relationship of x and y is that they are equal. Do you agree, @rislam21
