Good job! Very clearly explained with all of the steps shown.
I agree with @Chung Kevin, nice explanation.
what does "in Terms of" Mean
Very nice and simple solution... Good!
we have x y x + y = 1 so x + y = x y hence x ( y − 1 ) = y thus x = y − 1 y
x+y/xy=1
x+y/x=y
x/x+y/x=y
1+y/x=y
y/x=y-1
1/x=y-1/y
x=y/y-1
as in the option.
Nicely done!
(x+y)/xy=1
-> x+y=xy
-> y=xy-x
-> y= x(y-1)
->x=y/(y-1)
(x+y)/(xy) = 1 (1/y)+(1/x) = 1 1 - (1/y) = (1/x) (y-1)/(y) = 1/x x = y/(y-1)
It may not be as algebraic, but since 2+2 and 2*2 both equal 4, dividing them would equal 1. Which means x & y both equal 2, and 2 divided by 2 - 1 = 2.

x y x + y = 1 x + y = 1 × x y = x y x − x y = − y x ( 1 − y ) = − y x = 1 − y − y x = ( 1 − y ) × ( − 1 ) − y × ( − 1 ) x = − 1 + y y x = y − 1 y
