Step-by-step solution

4 steps
  1. Express one variable in terms of the other from the linear equation.

    The given equations are:

    1. 2x−y=02x - y = 0
    2. 4x2+3y2−2x+y=164x^2 + 3y^2 - 2x + y = 16

    From equation (1), we can express yy in terms of xx:

    y=2xy = 2x
  2. Substitute this expression for yy into the second equation.

    Substitute y=2xy = 2x into equation (2):

    4x2+3(2x)2−2x+(2x)=164x^2 + 3(2x)^2 - 2x + (2x) = 16
  3. Simplify and solve the resulting quadratic equation for xx.

    4x2+3(4x2)−2x+2x=164x^2 + 3(4x^2) - 2x + 2x = 16 4x2+12x2=164x^2 + 12x^2 = 16 16x2=1616x^2 = 16

    Divide both sides by 16:

    x2=1616x^2 = \frac{16}{16} x2=1x^2 = 1

    Take the square root of both sides:

    x=±1x = \pm\sqrt{1} x=±1x = \pm 1

    So, we have two possible values for xx: x1=1x_1 = 1 and x2=−1x_2 = -1.

  4. Find the corresponding values for yy using y=2xy = 2x.

    For x1=1x_1 = 1:

    y1=2(1)y_1 = 2(1) y1=2y_1 = 2

    This gives the solution pair (1,2)(1, 2).

    For x2=−1x_2 = -1:

    y2=2(−1)y_2 = 2(-1) y2=−2y_2 = -2

    This gives the solution pair (−1,−2)(-1, -2).

    The solutions to the pair of equations are \boxed{\text{(x, y) = (1, 2) and (x, y) = (-1, -2)}}.
