What is one of the solutions to the following system of equations?


y2 + x2 = 65

y + x = 7


A (8, −1)

B (1, 6)

C (6, 1)

D (9, −2)

Verified Answer :

that would be A

check...(8,-1)
y^2 + x^2 = 65
-1^2 + 8^2 = 65
1 + 64 = 65
65 = 65 (correct)

y + x = 7....(8,-1)
-1 + 8 = 7
7 = 7 (correct)

Answer:

(8,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :   \(x^{2} +y^{2} =65\)

               \(x+y=7\)

To Find: solution of given system of equations.

Solution:

Equation a :   \(x^{2} +y^{2} =65\)

Equation b :  \(x+y=7\)

Substitute the value of y from equation b in equation a

y from equation b : y = 7-x

Now substitute value of y in equation a

Thus equation a becomes:

 \(x^{2} +(7-x)^{2} =65\)

\(x^{2} +49+x^{2}-14x =65\)

\(2x^{2} -14x =65-49\)

\(x^{2} -7x -8=0\)

\(x^{2} -8x+x -8=0\)

\(x(x-8)+1(x-8)=0\)

\((x+1)(x-8)=0\)

⇒ x= -1 and x = 8

Now substitute values of x  in equation b to obtains values of y

⇒ \(x+y=7\)

for x = -1

⇒ \(-1+y=7\)

⇒ \(y=7+1\)

⇒ \(y=8\)

Thus (x,y)=(-1,8)

For x =8

⇒ \(8+y=7\)

⇒ \(y=7-8\)

⇒ \(y=-1\)

Thus (x,y)=(8,-1)

Hence Option A is the correct solution .
