Answer:
(- 5, - 3 ) , (3, 5 )
Step-by-step explanation:
x² + y² = 34 → (1)
y = x + 2 → (2)
substitute y = x + 2 into (1)
x² + (x + 2)² = 34
x² + x² + 4x + 4 = 34
2x² + 4x + 4 = 34 ( subtract 34 from both sides )
2x² + 4x - 30 = 0 ( divide through by 2 )
x² + 2x - 15 = 0 ← in standard form
(x + 5)(x - 3) = 0 ← in factored form
equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = - 5
x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3
substitute these values into (2) for corresponding values of y
x = - 5 : y = - 5 + 2 = - 3 ⇒ (- 5, - 3 )
x = 3 : y = 3 + 2 = 5 ⇒ (3, 5 )
