ANSWER
(3, 11) and (−3, −7)
EXPLANATION
The given system of equations are:

and

or

We equate the two equations to obtain,

We rewrite in standard quadratic form to obtain,

This simplifies to

We solve for x to obtain,




When


When x=-3,

Therefore the solution for the system is (3, 11) and (−3, −7).
To get the difference between the two diameters, all you have to do is subtract the smaller diameter (Mercury) from the larger diameter (Saturn) as follows:
Difference between the two diameters =diameter of Saturn-diameter of Mercury
Difference between the two diameters = (1.2*10^5) - (4.9*10^3)
Difference between the two diameters = 115100 km
