Answer:
There are two possibilities:
[tex]x_{1} = 3.5[/tex] and [tex]y_{1} = 6.4[/tex]
[tex]x_{2} = 6.4[/tex] and [tex]y_{2} = 3.5[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Mathematically speaking, the statement is equivalent to this 2-variable non-linear system:
[tex]x + y = 9.9[/tex]
[tex]x^{2} + y^{2} = 53.21[/tex]
First, [tex]x[/tex] is cleared in the first equation:
[tex]x = 9.9 - y[/tex]
Now, the variable is substituted in the second one:
[tex](9.9-y)^{2} + y^{2} = 53.21[/tex]
And some algebra is done in order to simplify the expression:
[tex]98.01-19.8\cdot y +2\cdot y^{2} = 53.21[/tex]
[tex]2\cdot y^{2} -19.8\cdot y +44.8 = 0[/tex]
Roots are found by means of the General Equation for Second-Order Polynomials:
[tex]y_{1} \approx \frac{32}{5}[/tex] and [tex]y_{2} \approx \frac{7}{2}[/tex]
There are two different values for [tex]x[/tex]:
[tex]y = y_{1}[/tex]
[tex]x_{1} = 9.9-6.4[/tex]
[tex]x_{1} = 3.5[/tex]
[tex]y = y_{2}[/tex]
[tex]x_{2} = 9.9 - 3.5[/tex]
[tex]x_{2} = 6.4[/tex]
There are two possibilities:
[tex]x_{1} = 3.5[/tex] and [tex]y_{1} = 6.4[/tex]
[tex]x_{2} = 6.4[/tex] and [tex]y_{2} = 3.5[/tex]
