Answer:
Our two equations are:
x+y=16
xy=55
Rewriting equation (1) in terms of just y= something, we get:
y=16−x
Substituting this into equation (2) leaves us:
x(16−x)=55
16x−x2=55⟹x=5 or 11
which can be easily seen by factoring or using the quadratic formula. It follows that y=11|x=5 and y=5|x=11.
Thus your solutions in terms of (x,y) are (5,11) and (11,5).
