Hello,
\n" ); document.write( "With this one y2−4x2=19
\n" ); document.write( " 9y2+16x2=275
\n" ); document.write( "Work with the first equation and set it up as:
\n" ); document.write( "y2= 4x^2 + 19
\n" ); document.write( "Now substitute this into the second equation:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "9(4x^2+19)+16x^2=275
\n" ); document.write( "Expand this out:
\n" ); document.write( "36x^2+171+16x^2=275
\n" ); document.write( "Combine like terms and subtract 171 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "52x^2=104
\n" ); document.write( "Divide by 52 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "x^2=2
\n" ); document.write( "Square root both sides:
\n" ); document.write( "x= +-sq rt 2
\n" ); document.write( "Plug this into the original equation to get:
\n" ); document.write( "y = +-3 sq rt 3
\n" ); document.write( "Make sense?
