Answer:
x = 5; y = -12
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
3x + y = 3
y = 3 - 3x -- equation (1)
xy = -60 -- equation (2)
Substitute "y" value in equation (2).
x( 3 - 3x) = -60
3x - 3x² + 60 = 0
-3x² + 3x + 60 = 0
-3(x² - x - 20) = 0
x² - x - 20 = 0
x² - 5x + 4x - 20 = 0
x( x - 5) + 4 (x - 5) = 0
(x+4)(x - 5) = 0
x + 4 = 0
x = -4
x - 5 = 0
x = 5
Here +ve value is taken because in the question the value of x is +ve.
Hence, x = 5
Substitute x value in equation (1).
y = 3 - 3x
y = 3 - 3(5)
y = 3 - 15
y = -12.
