Answer:

  • (-11.70, -2.05), (4.70, 5.10)

Explanation:

Given equations

  • (x+5)(x+2)=65
  • xy=24

Solving the first equation for x:

  • (x+5)(x+2)=65
  • x^2 + 7x + 10 = 65
  • x^2 + 7x - 55 = 0
  • x = (-7 ± √(49+4*55))/2
  • x = -11.70, x = 4.70

Then solving for y:

  • y= 24/(-11.7) = -2.05
  • y = 24/4.7 = 5.10

Solution set:

  • (-11.70, -2.05), (4.70, 5.10)
