Question

$$2y=x+5; x^{2}+xy=-1$$

Answer

x=-1,-2/3;y=2,13/6

Solution


Solve for \(x\) in \(2y=x+5\).
\[x=2y-5\]
Substitute \(x=2y-5\) into \({x}^{2}+xy=-1\).
\[{(2y-5)}^{2}+y(2y-5)=-1\]
Solve for \(y\) in \({(2y-5)}^{2}+y(2y-5)=-1\).
\[y=2,\frac{13}{6}\]
Substitute \(y=2,\frac{13}{6}\) into \(x=2y-5\).
\[x=-1,-\frac{2}{3}\]
Therefore,
\[\begin{aligned}&x=-1,-\frac{2}{3}\\&y=2,\frac{13}{6}\end{aligned}\]
