| Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE quadratic equation (work shown, graph etc) |
| Quadratic equation For these solutions to exist, the discriminant First, we need to compute the discriminant Discriminant d=225 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions: Quadratic expression Again, the answer is: 20, 5. Here's your graph: |
Your starting equations are
x + y = 25 (1)
+ = (2)
From equation (2)
]
4*(x+y) = xy
Replace here x+y by 25, based on equation (1). You will get
xy = 4*25 = 100.
So, you have two equations
x + y = 25 (3)
xy = 100 (4)
From here, the ANSWER is OBVIOUS: (x,y) = (20,5) or (5,20). (*)
If you want to get formal solution, express x = 25-y from (3) and substitute it to (4). You will get
(25-y)*y = 100
25y - y^2 = 100
y^2 - 25y + 100 = o
(y-20)*(y-5) = 0
giving two possibilities y= 20 or y= 5.
They lead to answer (*): the numbers are 5 and 20, in any order.
