For all real numbers x and y, if x # y = x(x-y), then x # (x # y) =

kati45 [8]

$x\#y=x(x-y)\\\\x\#(x\#y)\\\\x\#y=x(x-y)=x^2-xy\\\\x\#(x\#y)=x\#(x^2-xy)=x[x-(x^2-xy)]=x(x-x^2+xy)\\\\=x^2-x^3+x^2y$

$x^2-x^3+x^2y=8\\\\x^2(1-x+y)=8\\\\x^2(1-x+y)=2^2\cdot4\iff x^2=2^2\ and\ 1-x+y=4\\\\x=2\ and\ y=4-1+x\\\\x=2\ and\ y=3+2\\\\x=2\ and\ y=5$
