Algebra.Com's Answer #102409 by jojo14344(1513)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Okay, x^2+y^2=169, mark this equation 1. \n" ); document.write( "Also, x-y=7, mark this then equation 2. \n" ); document.write( "In equation 2 we get, y=x-7, right? Substitute this y value in equation 1, \n" ); document.write( "Therefore, \n" ); document.write( "x^2+(x-7)^2=169 \n" ); document.write( "x^2+x^2-14x+49=169 \n" ); document.write( "2x^2-14x-120=0 \n" ); document.write( "(2x+10)(x-12)=0 \n" ); document.write( "It has 2 values, first \n" ); document.write( "x=-10/2=-5, \n" ); document.write( "For y, go back equation 2, so y =-5-7=-12 \n" ); document.write( "This equation has (-5,-12) \n" ); document.write( "Also the other value x=12, and y=12-7=5 \n" ); document.write( "For this equation has (12,5) \n" ); document.write( "Thank you, \n" ); document.write( "jojo \n" ); document.write( " |
