. We're sorry about the hassle.
x=2,y=2 Because only 2 * 2=2+2
2 * 2=2+2
4=4 which is TRUE
PLEASE UPVOTE IF SATISFIED
It can be shown that ( x − 1 ) ( 1 − y ) = 1 and the integer solution follows.
it's (x-1)(y-1)=1.
2 is the only non-zero integer which produces the same result when added together and when multiplied by itself. 2 × 2 = 4 , 2 + 2 = 4 So both X and Y must be 2.
Since xy=x+y The only number which satisfies this is 2.
There is no need to give options.due to this just put the values and find and.
Sec^2theta = X Csc^2theta = Y Now say ??
As 2x2 and 2+2 are equal and hence satisfy x+y=xy ,we get the answer as x=2 and y=2.
From the given options, the only option that satisfies the given condition (that is multiplication and addition are equal) is the value of x and y is 2. Hence the proof.
xy=x+y x=2 y=2
2*2=2+2
4=4 so the answer is x^2y^2=(xy)^2 x=2, y=2
both are 2... and nothing have not the same result as 2 when it is: x + y x * y x ^ y
NOT a solution. Just an observation. xy=x+y ==> y = x/(x-1) Now take derivative respect to x. y' = -1/(x-1)^2 ==> at x = 1 there is vertical asymptote and no global minimum and maximum values are found.

x y = x + y
x y − x − y = 0
By Simon's Favorite Factoring Trick ,
x y − x − y + 1 = 1
( x − 1 ) ( y − 1 ) = 1
{ x − 1 = 1 y − 1 = 1 or { x − 1 = − 1 y − 1 = − 1
{ x = 2 y = 2 or { x = 0 y = 0 (rejected)
