Math Problem Statement

\begin{aligned}
y-3&=3x\\ y+11&=50-10x+x^2 \end{aligned}

Solution

You have a system of two equations:

  1. y3=3xy - 3 = 3x
  2. y+11=5010x+x2y + 11 = 50 - 10x + x^2

We will solve this system step by step.

Step 1: Express yy in terms of xx from the first equation.

From the first equation:

y3=3xy - 3 = 3x y=3x+3y = 3x + 3

Step 2: Substitute y=3x+3y = 3x + 3 into the second equation.

Now, substitute this expression for yy into the second equation:

y+11=5010x+x2y + 11 = 50 - 10x + x^2

Substituting y=3x+3y = 3x + 3:

(3x+3)+11=5010x+x2(3x + 3) + 11 = 50 - 10x + x^2 Simplifying:

3x+14=5010x+x23x + 14 = 50 - 10x + x^2

Step 3: Rearrange the equation.

Move all terms to one side:

3x+1450+10xx2=03x + 14 - 50 + 10x - x^2 = 0

Simplifying further:

13xx236=013x - x^2 - 36 = 0

Rearrange into standard quadratic form:

x2+13x36=0-x^2 + 13x - 36 = 0

Step 4: Solve the quadratic equation.

To make solving easier, multiply through by 1-1:

x213x+36=0x^2 - 13x + 36 = 0

Now, solve the quadratic equation using the quadratic formula:

x=b±b24ac2ax = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

For the equation x213x+36=0x^2 - 13x + 36 = 0, a=1a = 1, b=13b = -13, and c=36c = 36:

x=(13)±(13)24(1)(36)2(1)x = \frac{-(-13) \pm \sqrt{(-13)^2 - 4(1)(36)}}{2(1)} x=13±1691442x = \frac{13 \pm \sqrt{169 - 144}}{2} x=13±252x = \frac{13 \pm \sqrt{25}}{2} x=13±52x = \frac{13 \pm 5}{2}

Thus, the two possible values for xx are:

x=13+52=182=9x = \frac{13 + 5}{2} = \frac{18}{2} = 9 x=1352=82=4x = \frac{13 - 5}{2} = \frac{8}{2} = 4

Step 5: Find the corresponding yy-values.

Now, substitute x=9x = 9 and x=4x = 4 into y=3x+3y = 3x + 3 to find the corresponding yy-values.

  • For x=9x = 9:

y=3(9)+3=27+3=30y = 3(9) + 3 = 27 + 3 = 30

  • For x=4x = 4:

y=3(4)+3=12+3=15y = 3(4) + 3 = 12 + 3 = 15

Step 6: Conclusion.

The solutions to the system of equations are:

(x,y)=(9,30)or(x,y)=(4,15)(x, y) = (9, 30) \quad \text{or} \quad (x, y) = (4, 15)
