Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. We are given a system of two equations - y=x+y = x + - 5x+y=45x^ + y^ =4 . We are asked to solve this system for xx and yy.

STEP 2

The first equation is already solved for yy. We can substitute yy from the first equation into the second equation. This will give us an equation only in terms of xx.
5x2+(x+2)2=45x^2 + (x +2)^2 =4

STEP 3

Expand the square in the equation.
5x2+x2+x+=5x^2 + x^2 +x + =

STEP 4

Combine like terms.
6x2+4x=06x^2 +4x =0

STEP 5

This is a quadratic equation in the form ax2+bx+c=0ax^2 + bx + c =0. We can solve for xx by factoring.
2x(3x+2)=02x(3x +2) =0

STEP 6

Set each factor equal to zero and solve for xx.
2x=0and3x+2=02x =0 \quad \text{and} \quad3x +2 =0

STEP 7

olving the first equation gives x=0x =0. Solving the second equation gives x=23x = -\frac{2}{3}.

STEP 8

Now that we have the solutions for xx, we can substitute these values into the first equation to find the corresponding yy values.
For x=0x =0y=0+2=2y =0 +2 =2For x=23x = -\frac{2}{3}y=23+2=43y = -\frac{2}{3} +2 = \frac{4}{3}

STEP 9

So, the solutions to the system of equations are (,2)(,2) and (23,43)(-\frac{2}{3}, \frac{4}{3}).
The solution(s) is/are (,2)(,2) and (23,43)(-\frac{2}{3}, \frac{4}{3}).
