Question 548386: Solve the system of equations using substitution.
x2 + y2 = 169
x + y = 17

x^2+y^2=169
x+y=17
x=17-y
(17-y)^2+y^2=169
189-34y+y^2+y^2=169
20-34y+2y^2=0
/2
10-17y+y^2=0
y^2-17y+10=0
Find the roots of the equation by quadratic formula

a= 1 ,b= -17 ,c= 10

b^2-4ac= 289 + -40
b^2-4ac= 249
15.78


x1=( 17 + 15.78 )/ 2
x1= 16.39
x2=( 17 -15.78 ) / 2
x2= 0.61
x=16.39 so y=0.61
x=0.61 so y=16.39
