Solution Summary
In this solution, a logical way of finding the solutions of a given equation involving two variables is discussed. Monotonicity of the function involved is used to come to the conclusion.
Solution Preview
We have x+y=xe^y+ye^x
clearly x=y=0 is a solution.
If xy>0 then both sides are positive, hence there will be no solution.
So, let ...
