Factorize the given equation
Can you now finish the problem ..........
Find the divisor
can you finish the problem........
Given equation is \(xy-6(x+y)=0\)
\(\Rightarrow xy-6x-6y=0\)
\(\Rightarrow xy-6x-6y+36=36\)
\(\Rightarrow (x-6)(y-6)=3^2 \times 2^2\)
Now the numbers of factpr of \(36=9\) i.e \(\{1,2,3,4,6,9,12,18,36\}\)
Thus we may say that 36 has 9 positive divisors, and 9 negative. and x=0 and y=0 is also a solution
the given condition \(x\leq y\) ,so there are 10 non-negetive solution
