xy=-3
\n" ); document.write( "x+y=-5
\n" ); document.write( "so y=-5-x
\n" ); document.write( "substitute
\n" ); document.write( "x(-5-x)=-3
\n" ); document.write( "-5x-x^2=-3
\n" ); document.write( "0=x^2+5x-3
\n" ); document.write( "x=(1/2)(-5+/- sqrt (37))
\n" ); document.write( "numerically, this is 0.54 for x and -5.54
\n" ); document.write( "y would be -5.54 and +0.54 respectively
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
