I'll do the first one...solve for 'x'

First simplify the expression

x(-2y^2) / 2x = y^3/(-(4x+y)     simplify the left side (the 'x' cancels)

-2y^2/2 =Y^3/(-(4x+y)              Now the 2's cancel on the left

-y^2 = y^3/ (-(4x+y))                   Divide both sides by y^2

-1 = y/(-(4x+y))                   Multiply both sides by  -(4x +y)

4x+y = y                         Subtract y from both sides

4x=0                             Divide both sides by 4

x=0

If you subsitute x with 0, you will find that 0 is not a solution.

Solve for x.

 

\(\frac{x({y}^{2}-3{y}^{2})}{2x}=\frac{{y}^{3}}{-(4x+y)}\)

 

\(\frac{x(-2{y}^{2})}{2x}=\frac{{y}^{3}}{-(4x+y)}\)

 

\(\frac{-2x{y}^{2}}{2x}=\frac{{y}^{3}}{-(4x+y)}\)

 

\(-\frac{2x{y}^{2}}{2x}=\frac{{y}^{3}}{-(4x+y)}\)

 

\(-\frac{1x{y}^{2}}{x}=\frac{{y}^{3}}{-(4x+y)}\)

 

\(-\frac{x{y}^{2}}{x}=\frac{{y}^{3}}{-(4x+y)}\)

 

\(-1{y}^{2}=\frac{{y}^{3}}{-(4x+y)}\)

 

\(-{y}^{2}=\frac{{y}^{3}}{-(4x+y)}\)

 

\(-{y}^{2}=-\frac{{y}^{3}}{(4x+y)}\)

 

\(-{y}^{2}\times(4x+y)=-\frac{{y}^{3}}{(4x+y)}\times(4x+y)\)

 

\(-{y}^{2}\times(4x+y)=-{y}^{3}\)

 

\(\frac{-{y}^{2}\times(4x+y)}{-{y}^{2}}=\frac{-{y}^{3}}{-{y}^{2}}\)

 

\(\frac{-{y}^{2}\times(4x+y)}{-{y}^{2}}=\frac{{y}^{3}}{{y}^{2}}\)

 

\(\frac{-{y}^{2}\times(4x+y)}{-{y}^{2}}={y}^{3-2}\)

 

 

\(\frac{-{y}^{2}\times(4x+y)}{-{y}^{2}}={y}^{1}\)

 

\(\frac{-{y}^{2}\times(4x+y)}{-{y}^{2}}=y\)

 

\(4x+y=y\)

 

\(4x+y-y=y-y\)

 

\(4x+0=y-y\)

 

\(4x=y-y\)

 

\(4x=0\)

 

\(\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{0}{4}\)

 

\(1x=\frac{0}{4}\)

 

\(x=\frac{0}{4}\)

 

\(x=0\)

 

Check to see if \(x=0\) is the correct solution.

 

\(\frac{x({y}^{2}-3{y}^{2})}{2x}=\frac{{y}^{3}}{-(4x+y)}\)

 

\(\frac{0({y}^{2}-3{y}^{2})}{2\times0}=\frac{{y}^{3}}{-(4\times0+y)}\)

 

\(\frac{0(-{2y}^{2})}{2\times0}=\frac{{y}^{3}}{-(4\times0+y)}\)

 

\(\frac{0}{2\times0}=\frac{{y}^{3}}{-(4\times0+y)}\)

 

\(\frac{0}{0}=\frac{{y}^{3}}{-(4\times0+y)}\)

 

\(\frac{0}{0}=\frac{{y}^{3}}{-(0+y)}\)

 

\(\frac{0}{0}=\frac{{y}^{3}}{0-y}\)

 

\(\frac{0}{0}=\frac{{y}^{3}}{-y}\)

 

\(\frac{0}{0}=-\frac{{y}^{3}}{y}\)

 

\(\frac{0}{0}=-{y}^{3-1}\)

 

\(\frac{0}{0}=-{y}^{2}\)

 

\(Undefined=-{y}^{2}\)

 

Because both sides are not equal to each other \(x=0\) is not a solution which means that there is no solution to this problem.

 

Solve for y.

 

\(\frac{x({y}^{2}-3{y}^{2})}{2x}=\frac{{y}^{3}}{-(4x+y)}\)

 

\(\frac{x(-2{y}^{2})}{2x}=\frac{{y}^{3}}{-(4x+y)}\)

 

\(\frac{-2x{y}^{2}}{2x}=\frac{{y}^{3}}{-(4x+y)}\)

 

\(-\frac{2x{y}^{2}}{2x}=\frac{{y}^{3}}{-(4x+y)}\)

 

\(-\frac{1x{y}^{2}}{x}=\frac{{y}^{3}}{-(4x+y)}\)

 

\(-\frac{x{y}^{2}}{x}=\frac{{y}^{3}}{-(4x+y)}\)

 

\(-1{y}^{2}=\frac{{y}^{3}}{-(4x+y)}\)

 

\(-{y}^{2}=\frac{{y}^{3}}{-(4x+y)}\)

 

\(-{y}^{2}=-\frac{{y}^{3}}{(4x+y)}\)

 

\(-{y}^{2}\times(4x+y)=-\frac{{y}^{3}}{(4x+y)}\times(4x+y)\)

 

\(-{y}^{2}\times(4x+y)=-{y}^{3}\)

 

\(-4{y}^{2}x-{y}^{3}=-{y}^{3}\)

 

\(-4{y}^{2}x-{y}^{3}+{y}^{3}=-{y}^{3}+{y}^{3}\)

 

\(-4{y}^{2}x-0=-{y}^{3}+{y}^{3}\)

 

\(-4{y}^{2}x=-{y}^{3}+{y}^{3}\)

 

\(-4{y}^{2}x=0\)

 

\(\frac{-4{y}^{2}x}{-4}=\frac{0}{-4}\)

 

\(1{y}^{2}x=\frac{0}{-4}\)

 

\({y}^{2}x=\frac{0}{-4}\)

 

\({y}^{2}x=-\frac{0}{4}\)

 

\({y}^{2}x=0\)

 

\(\frac{{y}^{2}x}{x}=\frac{0}{x}\)

 

\(1{y}^{2}=\frac{0}{x}\)

 

\({y}^{2}=\frac{0}{x}\)

 

\({y}^{2}=0\)

 

\(\sqrt{{y}^{2}}=\sqrt{0}\)

 

\(y=\sqrt{0}\)

 

\(y=0\)

 

Check to see if \(y=0\) is the correct solution.

 

\(\frac{x({y}^{2}-3{y}^{2})}{2x}=\frac{{y}^{3}}{-(4x+y)}\)

 

\(\frac{x({0}^{2}-3\times{0}^{2})}{2x}=\frac{{0}^{3}}{-(4x+0)}\)

 

\(\frac{x(0-3\times{0}^{2})}{2x}=\frac{{0}^{3}}{-(4x+0)}\)

 

\(\frac{x(0-3\times0)}{2x}=\frac{{0}^{3}}{-(4x+0)}\)

 

\(\frac{x(0-0)}{2x}=\frac{{0}^{3}}{-(4x+0)}\)

 

\(\frac{x(0)}{2x}=\frac{{0}^{3}}{-(4x+0)}\)

 

\(\frac{0x}{2x}=\frac{{0}^{3}}{-(4x+0)}\)

 

\(\frac{0}{2x}=\frac{{0}^{3}}{-(4x+0)}\)

 

\(0=\frac{{0}^{3}}{-(4x+0)}\)

 

\(0=\frac{0}{-(4x+0)}\)

 

\(0=\frac{0}{-4x-0}\)

 

\(0=\frac{0}{-4x}\)

 

\(0=-\frac{0}{4x}\)

 

\(0=0\)

 

Since both sides are equal \(y=0\) is a correct solution to this problem.

Nice job GJ....I just solved the equation for 'x' as requested...   Obviously x=0 will be 'undefined' with a '0' in the denominator........Which only says the equation is INVALID for x=0 (but that is not what they asked).......I did solve for y too, but did not post it,  YOU did !  

Strong work!
