Question 430577
I have 4 different problems that deal with Substitution Method & Addition Method in which I am hoping you will be able to help me understand how to solve them. 

The first one is with Substitution Method {{{x+y=1}}} {{{x^2+xy-y^2=-11}}} I can't figure out the solution sets.
Rearrange the 1st equation for substitution
y = (-x+1)
Replace y in the 2nd equation
x^2 + x(-x+1) - (-x+1)^2 = -11
x^2 - x^2 + x - (x^2 - 2x + 1) = -11
Combine like terms
x^2 - x^2 - x^2 + x + 2x - 1 + 11 = 0
-x^2 + 3x + 10 = 0
Change signs, multiply by -1
x^2 - 3x - 10 = 0
Factors to
(x-5)(x+2) = 0
Two solutions, find y for each of them using y = -x+1
x = 5,  then y = -5 + 1 = -4
x = -2, then y = -(-2) + 1 = 3

The second one is with Substitution Method as well {{{x^2+y^2=180}}} {{{x-y=-6}}}
The 2nd equation will be used for substitution
x = (y-6)
Replace x in the 1st equation
(y-6)^2 + y^2 = 180
y^2 - 12y + 36 + y^2 = 180
Combine like terms
y^2 + y^2 - 12y + 36 - 180 = 0
2y^2 - 12y - 144 = 0
Simplify, divide by 2
y^2 - 6y - 72 = 0
Factors to
(y-12)(y+6) = 0
Two solutions
y = 12, then x = 12 - 6 = 6
y = -6, then x = -6 - 6 = -12

The third problem is with Addition Method {{{2x^2+3y^2-30=0}}} {{{5x^2-7y^2-17=0}}} 
Multiply the 1st equation by 7, multiply the 2nd equation by 3, we have
14x^2 + 21y^2 - 210 = 0
15x^2 - 21y^2 - 51 = 0
----------------------------Addition eliminates y^2, find x
29x^2 - 261 = 0
29x^2 = 261
x^2 = {{{261/29}}}
x^2 = 9
x = 3
Find y using the original 1st equation
2(3^2) + 3y^2 - 30 = 0
18 + 3y^2 - 30 = 0
3y^2 - 12 = 0
3y^2 = 12
y^2 = {{{12/3}}}
y^2 = 4
y = 2

The final problem is with addition method as well {{{x^2+y^2=16}}} {{{y^2-3x=16}}} 
Multiply the 2nd equation by -1, arrange as follows
x^2 + y^2 = 16
0x^2 -y^2 + 3x = -16
-----------------------adding eliminates y^2 find x
x^2 + 3x = 0
Factor out x
x(x+3) = 0
Two solutions
x = 0
x = -3
Find y using the 1st equation
When x=0
0 + y^2 = 16
y = 4
When x=-3
-3^2 + y^2 = 16
y^2 = 16 - 9
y^2 = 7
y = {{{sqrt(7)}}}

You should check these solutions in the original equations, a lot of math here
mistakes are made, so check my work.
