Answers
Answer:
221
The value of 25x² + 49y² = 221.
Given,
5x - 7y = 19
xy = -2
To Find,
the value of 25x² + 49y²
Solution,
This problem could be solved using the following method.
We have been given two equations.
Equation (1): 5x - 7y = 19
This is a linear equation in two variables.
Equation (2): xy = -2
This is also an equation in two variables.
We can rearrange equation (2):
x = -2/y
Let this be equation (3)
Substitute equation (3) in (1):
⇒ 5 (-2/y) - 7 y = 19
⇒ -10/y - 7 y = 19
⇒ -10/y - 7 y = 19
This is a quadratic equation in one variable y
The solution for this equation is given by:
where a = 7, b = 19 and c = 10
Hence, the integral value of y is y = -2.
Substitute this value in equation (3):
x = -2/-2
⇒ x = 1.
Hence we have x=1 and y=-2.
The value of 25x² + 49y² becomes
⇒ 25(1)² + 49(-2)²
⇒ 25(1) + 49(4)
⇒ 25 + 196
⇒ 221
Therefore, 25x² + 49y² = 221.
