Algebra.Com's Answer #645747 by fractalier(6550)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Yes, from \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "we solve the second one and substitute into the first one...we get \n" ); document.write( "y = x + 1 and then \n" ); document.write( "x^2 + (x+1)^2 = 4 \n" ); document.write( "x^2 + x^2 + 2x + 1 = 4 \n" ); document.write( "2x^2 + 2x - 3 = 0 \n" ); document.write( "This cannot be factored so we use the quadratic formula... \n" ); document.write( "x = (-2 + sqrt(4 + 24))/4 = (-2 + sqrt(28))/4 = (-1 + sqrt(7))/2 \n" ); document.write( "and \n" ); document.write( "x = (-2 - sqrt(4 + 24))/4 = (-2 - sqrt(28))/4 = (-1 - sqrt(7))/2 \n" ); document.write( "Plug in and solve for y, as in y = x + 1... \n" ); document.write( " |
