Example 1:
Solve the following equations
x= 2 y , x2
+ y2 = 45
the answer :
Substitute the expression 2 y for x into
the second equation and solve for y
4 y2 + y2 = 45
5 y2 = 45
y2 = 9
y = ± 3
y = 3 or y = -3
x = 2 y =2 × 3 x = 2 y =2 ×(-
3)
X= 6 x=
- 6
the solution to this
equations = {(6, 3) ,( - 6 , - 3) }
Example 2:
Solve the following equations
y ½ x=
x2 + y2 = 20
the answer :
Substitute the expression ½ y for x into the second equation and solve for y
( ½ y)2 + y2 = 20
¼ y2 + y2 = 20 ………… ×4
y2 +4 y2
= 80
5 y2 = 80
Y2 = 16
Y = ± 4
Y = 4 or y = -4
X = ½ y
=½ × 4
X = ½ y =½ ×(- 4)
X= 2
x= - 2
the solution to this
equations = {(2, 4) ,( - 2 , - 4) }
Example 3:
Solve the following equations
X= 3 y , x2
- y2 = 72
the answer :
Substitute the expression 3 y for x into
the second equation and solve for y
( 3y)2 - y2 = 72
9 y2 - y2 = 72
8 y2 = 72
Y2 = 9
Y = ± 3
Y = 3 or y = -3
X = 3 y =3 × 3 X = 3 y =3 ×(-
3)
X= 9 x=
- 9
the solution to this
equations = {(9, 3) ,( - 9 , - 3) }
Example 4:
Solve the following equations
X= y + 3 , x2
+ y2 = 23
the answer :
Substitute the expression y + 3 for x into the second equation and solve for y
( y + 3)2 + y2 = 23
y2
+ 6 y + 3 + y2 = 23
2 y2 + 6 y + 3 – 23 = 0
2 y2 + 6 y – 20 =
0 …….
÷ 2
Y2 + 3 y – 10
= 0
( y – 2 )( y + 5 ) = 0
Y = 2 or y =
-5
X = y + 3 =2 + 3 X = y + 3 =- 5 + 3
X= 5 x=
- 2
the solution to this
equations = {(5, 2) ,( - 2 , - 5) }
Example 5:
Solve the following equations
X= y - 2 , x2
+ y2 = 74
the answer :
Substitute the expression y - 2 for x into the second equation and solve for y
( y - 2)2 + y2 = 74
y2
- 4 y + 4 + y2 = 74
2 y2 - 4 y + 4 – 74
= 0
2 y2 - 4 y – 70 = 0
……. ÷
2
Y2 - 2 y
– 35 =
0
( y – 7 )( y + 5 ) = 0
Y = 2 or y = -5
X = y + 3 =2 + 3 X = y + 3 =- 5 + 3
X= 5
x= - 2
the solution to this
equations = {(5, 2) ,( - 2 , - 5) }
