Solve Linear Mult
1. Given the equation $2x - 20y + xy - 190 = 0$, we want to analyze or simplify it.
2. Group the terms involving $x$ and $y$:
$$xy + 2x - 20y - 190 = 0$$
3. Factor by grouping:
$$x(y + 2) - 10(2y + 19) = 0$$
4. Notice that $y + 2$ and $2y + 19$ are different expressions, so no common factor immediately.
5. We could try to isolate $y$:
$$xy - 20y = 190 - 2x$$
$$y(x - 20) = 190 - 2x$$
$$y = \frac{190 - 2x}{x - 20}$$
6. This expresses $y$ in terms of $x$, useful for graphing or analyzing the relationship.
Final answer:
$$y = \frac{190 - 2x}{x - 20}$$
