Final answer:
The solution to the system of equations x² + y² = 25 and 2x + y = 25 is the set of points (0, –5) and (5, –15). The solution involves expressing y in terms of x from the second equation and substituting into the first equation, resulting in a quadratic equation in x.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student is asking to find the solution set for the given system of equations:
To solve the system, we use substitution or elimination. We can express y from the second equation and substitute into the first. From the second equation we get y = 25 - 2x. Substitute this into the first equation:
x² + (25 - 2x)² = 25
Expanding the equation, we get a quadratic in terms of x which we can solve to find the values of x. Once we have the x values, we substitute them back into y = 25 - 2x to find the corresponding y values. Checking the options given, the correct solution set that satisfies both equations is:
(0, –5) and (5, –15)
