Algebra.Com's Answer #431071 by Simnepi(216)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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 = |
