Question

if 9(x − y)
^2 = 135 and x^
2 + y^
2 = 78, find the value of xy.
please help me solve this! I have been trying for the past hour!!!​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

9(x − y)^2  = 135

  9(x^2 +y^2 -2xy) = 135

   9x^2 + 9y^2 -18 xy = 135         equation 1

&    x^2 + y^2 = 78

      9x^2 + 9y^2            = 702

-     ( 9x^2 + 9y^2 -18 xy = 135)         (from equation 1)

  ---------------------------------------------

       0  +    0     +  18xy = 567

------------------------------------------------------

                               xy = 567/18 = 31.5
