Suppose that x and y satisfy the following equation:
( x 2 y 1 ) ( x y 0 x ) = 2 ( 1 0 3 6 − x 0 ) + ( 5 4 2 x x ) .
Evaluate x + y .

7 or -7 right
Daniel Sugihantoro IT'S +7 OR -7
If you solve for x and y, the only solutions are x=3 and y=4, therefore x+y will always be 7
How did you enter +- 7 into the answer field?
I'll just show you how my work goes
right side
2 ( 1 0 3 6 − x 0 ) + ( 5 4 2 x x ) = ( 2 0 6 1 2 − 2 x 0 ) + ( 5 4 2 x x ) = ( 2 5 1 0 1 2 x )
left side
( x x y 0 ) ( x y 0 x ) = ( x 2 + y 2 2 x + y x y x )
ending
( x 2 + y 2 2 x + y x y x ) = ( 2 5 1 0 1 2 x ) x 2 + y 2 = 2 5 2 x + y = 1 0 x y = 1 2 ( x + y ) 2 − 2 x y = x 2 + y 2 ( x + y ) 2 − 2 × 1 2 = 2 5 ( x + y ) 2 = 4 9 x + y = 7

( x 2 y 1 ) ( x y 0 x ) ( x 2 + y 2 2 x + y x y x ) = 2 ( 1 0 3 6 − x 0 ) + ( 5 4 2 x x ) = ( 2 ( 1 0 ) + 5 2 ( 3 ) + 4 2 ( 6 − x ) + 2 x 2 ( 0 ) + x ) = ( 2 5 1 0 1 2 x )
⟹ { x 2 + y 2 = 2 5 x y = 1 2 . . . ( 1 ) . . . ( 2 )
( x + y ) 2 ⟹ x + y = x 2 + 2 x y + y 2 = 2 5 + 2 ( 1 2 ) = 4 9 = ± 7
