If x2y3=10 and x3y2=8, what is the value of x5y5?

Correct answer: D. 80

  • A. 18
  • B. 20
  • C. 40
  • D. 80

Explanation

To find x5y5, multiply the two given equations: (x2y3 = 10) and (x3y2 = 8). The left side becomes x2+3y3+2 = x5y5. The right side becomes 10 * 8 = 80. Therefore, x5y5 = 80, making option D correct. Options A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not match the result of this multiplication.
