If you are given no choices then you can solve as given below.

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

b is the correct solution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x+y=17 squaring both sides \[x ^{2}+y ^{2}+2xy=289,169+2x y=289,2x y=289-169=120\] xy=60 y=60/x \[x+\frac{ 60 }{x }=17,x ^{2}+60=17x, or x ^{2}-17x+60=0\] \[x ^{2}-12x-5x+60=0,x \left( x-12 \right)-5\left( x-12 \right)=0,\left( x-12 \right)\left( x-5 \right)=0\] it gives x=12,5 when x=12,y=17-12=5 when x=5,y=17-5=12
