Q. y=(x5)2+1 y=(x-5)^{2}+1 \newliney53=15 \frac{y-5}{3}=15 \newlineIf (x,y) (x, y) is a solution to the system of equations shown and x>0 x>0 , what is the value of x x ?
  1. Solve Second Equation for y: We have the system of equations:\newline11) y=(x5)2+1y = (x - 5)^2 + 1\newline22) (y5)/3=15(y - 5)/3 = 15\newlineFirst, we will solve the second equation for yy.
  2. Find y Value: Solve the second equation (y5)/3=15(y - 5)/3 = 15 for y.\newlineMultiply both sides by 33 to isolate y5y - 5.\newline(y5)=15×3(y - 5) = 15 \times 3\newliney5=45y - 5 = 45\newlineNow, add 55 to both sides to find y.\newliney=45+5y = 45 + 5\newliney=50y = 50\newlineWe have found the value of y.
  3. Substitute yy into First Equation: Now that we have y=50y = 50, we can substitute this value into the first equation y=(x5)2+1y = (x - 5)^2 + 1 to find xx. Substitute yy with 5050 in the first equation. 50=(x5)2+150 = (x - 5)^2 + 1
  4. Solve for x: Next, we will solve for xx.\newlineSubtract 11 from both sides of the equation to isolate the squared term.\newline501=(x5)250 - 1 = (x - 5)^2\newline49=(x5)249 = (x - 5)^2\newlineNow, take the square root of both sides to solve for x5x - 5.\newline49=x5\sqrt{49} = x - 5\newline±7=x5\pm7 = x - 5\newlineSince we are given that x > 0, we will only consider the positive root.
  5. Find x Value: Add 55 to both sides of the equation to solve for xx.\newline7+5=x7 + 5 = x\newlinex=12x = 12\newlineWe have found the value of xx.
