Question

What is one of the solutions to the following system of equations?

y2 + x2 = 53
y − x = 5

Answer 1

(−10, −5)

(−7, −2)

(7, 2)

(5, 10)

Answer 2

isolate 'y' from the 2nd equation

y-x=5

Add 5 on both sides.

Answer 3

i mean add 'x' on both sides

Answer 4

I add x to the 5? and x or y?

Answer 5

like this :
\(y-x = 5 \\ y-x+x = 5+x\)

simplify that,
y =... ?

Answer 6

5?

Answer 7

what about x ?

Answer 8

10?

Answer 9

no lol

\(y-x+x = x+5\)

-x + x will be 0
so you get
\(y =x+5\)

got this ?

Answer 10

okay...

Answer 11

now substitute this 'y' in the first equation,

plug in y = x+5 in
\(y^2+x^2 = 53\)
what do u get ?

Answer 12

@hartnn I honestly don't know...
