Answer:

There are two possibilities:

x_{1} = 3.5 and y_{1} = 6.4

x_{2} = 6.4 and y_{2} = 3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically speaking, the statement is equivalent to this 2-variable non-linear system:

x + y = 9.9

x^{2} + y^{2} = 53.21

First, x is cleared in the first equation:

x = 9.9 - y

Now, the variable is substituted in the second one:

(9.9-y)^{2} + y^{2} = 53.21

And some algebra is done in order to simplify the expression:

98.01-19.8\cdot y +2\cdot y^{2} = 53.21

2\cdot y^{2} -19.8\cdot y +44.8 = 0

Roots are found by means of the General Equation for Second-Order Polynomials:

y_{1} \approx \frac{32}{5} and y_{2} \approx \frac{7}{2}

There are two different values for x:

y = y_{1}

x_{1} = 9.9-6.4

x_{1} = 3.5

y = y_{2}

x_{2} = 9.9 - 3.5

x_{2} = 6.4

There are two possibilities:

x_{1} = 3.5 and y_{1} = 6.4

x_{2} = 6.4 and y_{2} = 3.5
