So I'm in a calculus 1 class and am doing an implicit differentiation problem.

As the picture says, i was supposed to combine like terms. But why did that 5x turn into 5x+1? I don't understand this at all. If someone would be kind enough to give me a quick explanation, I would really appreciate it.

Because you can write it like 5x(dy/dx) + (1)dy/dx
you're distributing out the dy/dx

Ahhhhhhh! I can't believe I overlooked that. Thank you very much.
