Hello ballhopper!
{ y^2 + x^2 = 10
y+x = 4
\(y^{2}+x^{2}=10 \)
\(y+x=4\)
\(y=4-x\)
\(\left(4-x\right) ^{2}+x^{2}=10 \)
\(16-8x+x²+x²=10 \)
\( 8-4x+x² =5 \)
\( x²-4x+3=0 \)
\( ax²+bx+c=0 \)
\( a=1; \ b=-4; \ c=3\)
\(x = {-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} \over 2a}\)
\(x = {4 \pm \sqrt{16-12} \over 2}\)
\(x_{1} = {4 + \sqrt{16-12} \over 2}=3\)
\(x_{2} = {4 - \sqrt{16-12} \over 2}=1\)
\(solution\ set = \{3 ;1\}\)
