I'm guessing that X2Y means (X^2) * YNot sure where you get the first two lines of that... oh, 2 equations, 2 unknowns...Originally posted by Unregistered
x = (9 - (41)^0.5) / 2, y = (9 + (41)^0.5) / 2
OR
x = (9 + (41)^0.5) / 2, y = (9 - (41)^0.5) / 2
so x^2 + y^2 = 61
also like this:
xy = 10
x^2 y + xy^2 + x + y = 99
10x + 10y + x + y = 99
11x + 11y = 99
x + y = 9
(x + y)^2 = 81
x^2 + 2xy + y^2 = 81
x^2 + y^2 + 2(10) = 81
x^2 + y^2 = 61
