Solution

Part 1: Graphing the Equations

The system of equations is:

  1. x2+y2=9x^2 + y^2 = 9
    This is the equation of a circle centered at the origin (0,0)(0, 0) with a radius of 3.

  2. x+y=1x + y = 1
    This is the equation of a straight line with a slope of 1-1 and a yy-intercept of 11.

Graphing the Equations:

The graph of the circle is a complete circle centered at the origin with points like (3,0)(3, 0), (3,0)(-3, 0), (0,3)(0, 3), and (0,3)(0, -3) on its perimeter.
The graph of the line x+y=1x + y = 1 passes through points like (1,0)(1, 0) and (0,1)(0, 1).

Part 2: Finding the Number of Real Solutions

The real solutions are the intersection points of the circle and the line.

  • The circle is symmetric, and the line will intersect it at exactly two distinct points.

Conclusion:

There are 2 real solutions to this system.

Would you like me to create and display the graph for better visualization?
