Answer

$(x,0)$ for $x\geq 0$ $(0,y)$ for $y\leq 0$

Work Step by Step

We are given the equation: $|x+y|=x-y$ Case 1: $x\leq 0,y\leq 0$ $-(x+y)=x-y$ $-x-y=x-y$ $2x=0$ $x=0$ Solutions: $(0,y)$, where $y\leq 0$ Case 2: $x\geq 0,y\geq 0$ $x+y=x-y$ $2y=0$ $y=0$ Solutions: $(x,0)$, where $x\geq 0$ Case 3: $x\geq 0, y\leq 0$ and $|x|>|y|$ $x+y=x-y$ $2y=0$ $y=0$ Solutions: $(x,0)$, where $x\geq 0$ Case 4: $x\geq 0, y\leq 0$ and $|x||y|$ $-(x+y)=x-y$ $-x-y=x-y$ $2x=0$ $x=0$ No solution Case 6: $x\leq 0, y\geq 0$ and $|x|
