Notice our expression is much like a discriminant, perhaps of \((ag-ch)^2x+(ad-bc)x-(bg-dh)\)...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You do have to use the discriminant. It's a matter of where to start off.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it looks like the discriminant of \[(ag-ch)x^2+(ad-bc)x+(dh-bc)=0\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is y a constant here?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or a variable as well?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

variable

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are the solutions for x or y?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@vamgadu

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are the solutions for x or y?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for both

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is like the equation of a pair of lines in cartesian plane and x,y are coordinates

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are these pairs of simultaneous equations?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, i think so

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm... anyone solve this yet? This is tough.
