Question 1058635: Two numbers are such that if the square of the first number is subtracted by twice their product, the difference is -1. But twice the product added to the sum of thrice the square of the first number and five times that number gives 10. Answer by KMST(5328) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! = the first number = the other number
The square of the first number,
subtracted by twice the product of both numbers is .
Adding twice the product of the two numbers to
thrice the square of the first number ,
and five times that number , we get .
Adding the two equations we get
So, or
Substituting for in one of the two original equations, we can find .
