how do I figure X^2+y^2=25 if y=2x how do I figure X^2+y^2=25 if y=2x @Mathematics

myininaya (myininaya):

so do you mean solve for x?

myininaya (myininaya):

and y

myininaya (myininaya):

\[x^2+(2x)^2=25\]

myininaya (myininaya):

is a start

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i see x^2+(2x)^2=25, but that is where i get lost

myininaya (myininaya):

\[x^2+2^2x^2=25\]

myininaya (myininaya):

\[x^2+4x^2=25\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OK, thanks. Let me work that for a bit.

myininaya (myininaya):

\[5x^2=25\]

myininaya (myininaya):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I get \[x=\sqrt{5} \] and \[y=2\sqrt{5}\]
