A good method is solve one equation either for \"x%5E2\" or for \"y%5E2\", and substitute into the other equation, and solve for this single variable. Return to the first variable and solve.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y%5E2=9-x%5E2\".
\n" ); document.write( "Now substitute ...
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2%2F9-%289-x%5E2%29%2F9=1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2-%289-x%5E2%29=9\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%5E2-9=9\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%5E2=9%2B9=18\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2=9\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=-3\" OR \"x=3\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Resuming with \"y%5E2=9-x%5E2\", either x solution will give the same y.
\n" ); document.write( "\"y%5E2=9-9\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y%5E2=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=0\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "SOLUTIONS: (-3,0) and (3,0).
