If: x-2y = 1 then x = 2y+1 If: 3xy -y^2 = 8 then 3*(2y+1)*y -y^2 = 8 So: 6y^2 +3y -y^2 = 8 or 5y^2 +3y -8 = 0 Factorizing the above: (y-1)(5y+8) = 0 meaning y = 1 or y = -8/5 Solutions by substitution are: (3, 1) and (-11/5, -8/5)
The two equations are: 1) 3xy - y² = 8 2) x - 2y = 1 Make x the subject of (2): x - 2y = 1 → x = 2y + 1 substitute for x in (1) and solve for y: 3xy - y² = 8 → 3(2y + 1)y - y² = 8 → 6y + 3y - y² - 8 = 0 → 5y + 3y - 8 = 0 → (5y + 8)(y - 1) = 0 → 5y + 8 = 0 → y = -8/5 or y - 1 = 0 → y = 1 and substitute into 2 to find the corresponding x: y = -8/5 → x = 2(-8/5) + 1 = -11/5 y = 1 → x = 2(1) + 1 = 3 → the solutions are the ordered pairs (-11/5, -8/5) {or (-2.2, -1.6)} and (3, 1)
