x×y=324

x+y=77

 

There are several ways to solve this problem.  I will solve this problem this way,

 

Solve for x in the first equation

 

x×y=324

 

x×yy=324y

 

x×1=324y

 

x=324y

 

Subsitute 324y for x in the second equations and solve for y.

 

334y+y=77

 

334y×y+y×y=77×y

 

334×yy+y×y=77×y

 

334+y×y=77×y

 

334+y2=77×y

 

334+y2=77y

 

334+y2+77y=77y+77y

 

334+y2+77y=0

 

y2+77y+334=0

 

y2+77y+334334=0334

 

y2+77y+0=0334

 

y2+77y+0=334

 

y2+77y+0+1482.25=334+1482.25

 

y2+77y+1482.25=334+1482.25

 

y2+77y+1482.25=1148.25

 

(y+38.5)2=1148.25

 

(y+38.5)2=1148.25

 

y+38.5=±1148.25

 

y+38.5± 33.8858377497148505

 

y+38.533.8858377497148505 and y+38.533.8858377497148505

 

y+38.538.533.885837749714850538.5and y+38.538.533.885837749714850538.5

 

y+033.885837749714850538.5 and y+033.885837749714850538.5

 

y33.885837749714850538.5 and y33.885837749714850538.5

 

y4.6141622502851495 and y72.3858377497148505

 

Subsitute y in the second equation and solve for x.

 

x+(4.6141622502851495)77 and x+(72.3858377497148505)77

 

x4.614162250285149577 and x72.385837749714850577
