Solve each system by the addition method. $$\left\\{\begin{array}{l} x^{2}+y^{2}=25 \\ (x-8)^{2}+y^{2}=41 \end{array}\right.$$

Short Answer

Expert verified
The solutions to the system of equations are \(x=3, y=4\) and \(x=3, y=-4\).

Step by step solution

01

Simplify the Equations

The given equations are: \(x^{2}+y^{2}=25\) and \((x-8)^{2}+y^{2}=41\). To simplify, rewrite the second equation with simplified terms. This results in: \(x^{2}-16x+64+y^{2}=41\).
02

Subtract the first equation from the simplified second equation

Doing so will produce a simple linear equation. Let's subtract equation \(x^{2}+y^{2}=25\) from the simplified equation \(x^{2}-16x+64+y^{2}=41\), this results in \(-16x+64=16\).
03

Solve for x

Further simplifying \(-16x+64=16\), subtract 64 from both sides, resulting in \(-16x=-48\). Then, divide both sides by -16, resulting in \(x=3\).
04

Solve for y

With \(x=3\), substitute x in the first equation \(x^{2}+y^{2}=25\). This results in: \(3^{2}+y^{2}=25\) or \(y^{2}=16\). Solving for y, we get two possible values for y, that is, \(y=4\) or \(y=-4\).
05

State the solution

Therefore, the solutions to the system of equations are \(x=3, y=4\) and \(x=3, y=-4\).
