Work Step by Step

To graph the equation, we need to consider several different cases: Case 1. $x\geq0$, we have $y+|y|=x+x$ which leads to two more cases: (i) $y\geq0$, we have $y+y=2x$ or $y=x$ which represent a line in the figure. (ii) $y\leq0$, we have $y-y=2x$ or $x=0$. However, as $x=0$ leads to $y=0$, this gives a point $(0,0)$ or the origin. Case 2. $x\leq0$, we have $y+|y|=x-x=0$ which leads to two more cases: (i) $y\geq0$, we have $y+y=0$ or $y=0$ which represents the negative x-axis. (ii) $y\leq0$, we have $y-y=0$ or $0=0$. This means that any point in Quadrant III will satisfy the equation.
