Let's solve this problem using substitution. Given that x-y=8, x = 8 + y.
(Then x^2 = 64 + 16y + y^2)
This other equation is (x-2)^2 + (y-1)^2 = 25.

Easier to substitute 8 + y for x in (x-2)^2:

(8 + y - 2)^2 + (y-1)^2 = 25

(6 + y)^2 + (y-1)^2 = 25
36 + 12y + y^2 + y^2 - 2y + 1 = 25

Re-writing this in descending powers of y:

2y^2 + 10y + 36 + 1 = 25

Then 2y^2 + 10y - 12 = 0

Reduce by division by 2: y^2 + 5y - 6 = 0 = (y+3)(y+2) = 0

Then y=-3 and y=-2. From each of these we get x: x = 8 + y

So x = 8 - 3 = 5 and x = 8 - 2 = 6. There are common solutions.

Try (5, -3) and (6, -2). Do these points satisfy both of the given equations? If they do, you've shown that we have common solutions.

In a different dimension, cows have $x+3$ legs, with 3 toes on each leg. Chickens have $2x-4$ legs, with 7 toes on each leg. If

Answer:

20x-10

Step-by-step explanation:

Cows have $x+3$ legs and 3 toes on each leg, if we want to find the number of toes of ONE cow we have to multiply the legs by the toes giving the following:

$3(x+3) \quad (1)$

But we have two cows so (1) we have to multiply it by 2 giving a total of:

$2(3(x+3))\\6(x+3)\\6x+18 \quad (2)$

By the other hand chickens have $2x-4$ legs and 7 toes on each leg, if we want to find the number of toes we have to multiply the legs by the toes giving the following:
