Hello,
Solve[{409 - 166*x + 17*x^2 - 218*y + 92*x*y - 10*x^2* y + 34*y^2 -
16*x*y^2 + 2*x^2* y^2 == 0, 23 - 5*x - 8*y + 2 == 0}, {x, y}]
does the job.
Have fun with MATHEMATICA; it is by far more enticing than any conceivable
(computer) game.
Best regards,

Betreff: [mg33191] New user with a problem, Can anyone help?
Currently doing a homework exercise and stuck on a question.
Question:
Find all values of x and y for which both
409 - 166x + 17x^2 - 218y + 92xy - 10x^2 y + 34y^2 - 16xy^2 + 2x^2 y^2
and
23 - 5x - 8y + 2
are equal to zero.
Hence find expressions a and b (involving x and y) such that these two
expressions are equal to a^2 + b^2 and a + b, respectively.
Can anyone help or give any hints as I am struggling to grasp this question?
