X + y = 13......x = 13 - y
2x - 3y = 1

2(13 - y) - 3y = 1
26 - 2y - 3y = 1
-2y - 3y = 1 - 26
-5y = -25
y = -25/-5
y = 5

x + y = 13
x + 5 = 13
x = 13 - 5
x = 8

<span>so, x = 8 and y = 5</span>

Follow the process of completing the square to solve x^2 - 10x + 8 = 0. What is the value of the constant that will be isolated
My name is Ann [436]
To solve using completing square method we proceed as follows:
x^2-10x+8=0
x^2-10x=-8
but
c=(b/2)^2
c=(10/2)^2=25
thus we can add this in our expression to get
x^2-10x+25=8+25
factorizing the LHS we get:
(x-5)(x-5)=33
(x-5)^2=33
getting the square roots of both sides we have:
x-5=+/-√33
x=5+/-√33
