To solve equations of this type just think of the squared terms as being linear terms(if that makes sense!)
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + y^2 = 35 Equation (1)
\n" ); document.write( "4x^2 - 9y^2 = 36 Equation (2)
\n" ); document.write( "Rearranging (1) gives
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 = 35 - y^2 Equation (3)
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute this value into (2) giving
\n" ); document.write( "4(35 - y^2) - 9y^2 = 36
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore
\n" ); document.write( "140 - 4y^2 -9y^2 = 36
\n" ); document.write( "Simplifying and gathering terms to either side gives
\n" ); document.write( "-13y^2 = -104
\n" ); document.write( "therefore
\n" ); document.write( "y^2 = 8
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute this value into (1) giving
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + 8 = 35
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 = 27
\n" ); document.write( "now the values of x and y are
\n" ); document.write( "y = \"sqrt%288%29\" and x = \"sqrt%2827%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
