Question

x^2 + 9y^2 = 37

x - 2y = -3

Answer 1

x = 2y-3, so we have

(2y-3)^2 + 9y^2 = 37
4y^2 - 12y + 9 + 9y^2 = 37
13y^2 - 12y - 28 = 0
(y-2)(13y+14) = 0

so, solutions are (1,2) and (-67/3,-14/13)

Answer 2

for 2nd equation, we get x = 2y-3

thus plugging into first equation gets

(2y-3)^2+9y^2 = 37.

4y^2-12y+9+9y^2 = 13y^2-12y+9=37 = 13y^2-12y-28 = 0.

Solving with the quadratic formula gives us: 2,-14/13

Answer 3

I assume you are solving.

from the 2nd: x = 2y-3
sub into the 1st

(2y-3)^2 + y^2 - 37 = 0
4y^2 - 12y + 9 + 9y^2 - 37 = 0
13y^2 - 12y - 28 = 0
(y-2)(13y + 14) = 0
y = 2 or y = -14/13

if y = 2, then x = 2-3 = -1
if y = -14/13, x = -28/13 - 3 = -67/13

points of intersection:
(-1,2) and (-67/13 , -14/13)

Answer 4

arrgghhh!

for first point:
y = 2, then x = 4-3 = 1 , just like Steve had above

point is (1,2)

Answer 5

so, is this a typo fest, or what?
Good job, Knights.

Hope you can dig out the correct solutions, Princess!
