2x(y)=xa

Solution for 2x(y)=xa equation:

Simplifying
2x(y) = xa

Multiply x * y
2xy = xa

Solving
2xy = ax

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1ax' to each side of the equation.
-1ax + 2xy = ax + -1ax

Combine like terms: ax + -1ax = 0
-1ax + 2xy = 0

Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), 'x'.
x(-1a + 2y) = 0

Subproblem 1
Set the factor 'x' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
x = 0

Solving
x = 0

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Simplifying
x = 0
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(-1a + 2y)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
-1a + 2y = 0

Solving
-1a + 2y = 0

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add 'a' to each side of the equation.
-1a + a + 2y = 0 + a

Combine like terms: -1a + a = 0
0 + 2y = 0 + a
2y = 0 + a
Remove the zero:
2y = a

Add '-2y' to each side of the equation.
2y + -2y = a + -2y

Combine like terms: 2y + -2y = 0
0 = a + -2y

Simplifying
0 = a + -2y
