Answer by oberobic(2304) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
f(x) = x^2 -11x + k
g(x) = x^2 -14x + 2k
.
x = 0 defines the roots
But that reveals we would be looking for a point where k = 2k.
That exists only at k=0.
Given k=0, we can redefine f(x) and g(x):
f(x) = x*(x-11)
g(x) = x*(x-14)
They share the common root 0.

An obvious solution is .
However, is another solution, giving both equations,
and
the common root .

A common root would be a solution of the non-linear system of non-linear equations:

We can combine them to give
--> -->
which we could use, along with the friendliest of the quadratic equations above to search for all possible solutions.
has the solutions

Combining them, we get
--> --> --> --> -->
So we get two answers and , and both verify.
For k=0, we get x=0/3=0.
For k=24 we get x=24/3=8.
The solutions are the (x,k) pairs (0,0) and (8,24).
