Real numbers x and y satisfy

 

x+xy2=250y,xxy2=240y.

 

find all values of x separated by commas

 

 

I've been really stuck and whatever I did didn't get me anywhere. Thank you to anyone who answers :)

Use elimination method

First add the 2 equations

 

x+x+xy2+xy2=250y+240y2x=10yx=5y

 

Now sub that into either original equation and solve for y there might be more than one answer.

See if you can go from there.

Don't forget to check your answers.
