Explanation:

Its given that x+y = xy = 5x+y=xy=5
Now, to solve the given equation which is:
x^2y+y^2x = ????x2y+y2x=????

This equation can also be written as:
x xx x xxyx×x×y + yxxyxxxy×y×x

Now, xyxy or yxyx in the above equation can be replaced by 55 (yxyx can also be replaced by 55 because multiplication of numbers in either sequence will give the same answer. For eg: 2xx3=3xx2=62×3=3×2=6)

and then, the equation becomes: 5x+5y5x+5y

Taking the common factor 55 out, we get 5(x+y)5(x+y)..........(1)

But x+y=5x+y=5
Putting this value of x+yx+y in the equation (1)

or, 5 xx 5 = 255×5=25
