This method is far too complicated. Express y=48/x, substitute in x²-y²=28. Let t=x² and solve. t²-28t-48²=0

David! Thank you for your comment and suggestion! Your approach is indeed a valid alternative for solving the problem, and different methods can provide varying perspectives. The method I chose, using the difference of squares formula, is just one way to approach the problem. It aims to showcase a particular algebraic technique that can be useful in other scenarios as well. Your suggestion of expressing \(y\) in terms of \(x\) and substituting it into the equation is another valid and efficient approach, especially in this specific case. It's great to have different methods in our toolkit for problem-solving. I appreciate your input, and I encourage viewers to explore various approaches to find the one that resonates best with them. If you have any more questions or if there's another problem you'd like me to tackle in a different way, feel free to let me know!

(x+y)(x-y) =2*14, Then x+y =14 ...(1)and x-y =2..(2) Adding both eqn 2x =16 ,x=8 and y=6 .Let verify this value with eqn x.y=48, 8.6=48. Hence assumed 2factor , x+y =14 and x-y =2 is valid.
(x-y) x (x+y) = 28 (x-y) x (x+y)= 14 X 2 x-y=2 x+y=14 2x=16 ============> x=8 ===========> y=6 x.y=48 ============> 8 x 6= 48 x+y = 8+6= 14. Mauro Moreira (Brasil)

Stephen! I love your methodology.
x^2-y^2=28 --> (x-y)(x+y)=28 (spoiler won't be much use) xy=48 --> y=48/x So x^2-(48/x)^2=28 --> x^4-48^2=28x^2 --z=x^2--> z^2-28z-48^2=0 --> (z-14)^2-2500=0 --> z=14±50 --> x^2=64 or -36 --> x=±8 or ±6i, --> y=±6 or ∓8i --> x+y=±14 or ∓2i.
Not sure why the imaginary roots were discarded! Nowhere in the problem description does it say that x, y, etc., are real. This problem has 4 solutions: x=8, y=6; x=-8, =-6; x=0+6i, y=0-8i; x=0-6i, y=0+8i. accordingly x+y is +14, -14, 0+2i, or 0-2i.

Dear, you are correct! To make it short, I have solved the problem only for real values of x.
Why such a simple question needs 13 mins to solve????????
Should also verify the solutions (in case one would be rejected) If x + y = 14 Then x - y = (x2 - y2)/(x+y) = 28/14 = 2 Solving for x & y, we get x = 8, y = 6 So, xy = 48 (Holds true) If x + y = -14 Then, x - y = -2 Solving for x & y, x = -8, y = -6 So, xy = 48 (Also holds true) Hence both 14 and -14 are accepted as solutions. Interestijg that we have two different (x, y) pairs satisfying the equations.

It is just a difference of two squares... X^2 - y^2 = 28 (X+y) (x-y) = 28 Factor the 28, so (X+y)(x-y)= 14(2) then (X+y) = 14 and (x-y)=2 to check if you have chosen the correct factors 14 & 2, (X+y)(x-y) = (8+6)(8-6) Then (X+y)= (8+6)= 14 true (X-y)= (8-6)= 2 true

Easy method Let x^2 =a and y^2= b So a - b = 28 ab = 48^2 so find (a+b) using identity thus x^+y^2 and add 2xy to get (x+y)"2 and hence x+y
I normally solve the problems using the extensive long method like you do, and l still do anyhow, but l try to eliminate it as much as possible... Heed, when you reach: (x+y)^2 - 784/(x+y)^2 =192, to simplify things, you should have let either x+y = a or (x+y)^2 = a... pick your choice, the equation would have more likely become much simpler.... the use of substitution, l tend to make the same mistake also at times...

Hi, I factored (x^2-y^2) with (x+y)(x-y)=7*4 or 14*2. 7*4 didn't rule but 14*2 is fine. x+y=14 and x-y=2 therefore x=8 and y=6. 8 and 6 agree with the second condition that xy=48…. fast, smart but not as elegant as yours

Of 48
Since you started with a difference of two squares and you were looking for the value of 'x+y', you should start with the statement that your solution MUST be a factor of 28. Also, your answer 'x + y = +/-14' is INCOMPLETE since you NEVER addressed the condition that xy=48!

Hi. Even if there are other comments describing how the solution for this olympiad was found, I will leave my own comment anyway. X=8 & Y=6. 8 to the 2nd power is 64 and 6 to the 2nd power is 36. Therefore, 64-36=28. 8*6=48 and 8+6=14. It's all as simple as that. As mentioned before, if anyone else has already come up with this same solution, I will just leave these comments anyway. Enjoy using the values I was able to find for both X & Y to solve all these equations.

We have the following two equations: 1) x^2 - y^2 = 28 2) xy = 48 We can solve this system of equations by first solving the first equation for x^2: x^2 = y^2 + 28 Now, we can substitute this expression for x^2 into the second equation: (y^2 + 28) * y = 48 Distribute the y^2 term: y^3 + 28y = 48 Now, we can factor out y from the equation: y(y^2 + 28) = 48 Next, we can divide both sides by (y^2 + 28) to isolate y: y = 48 / (y^2 + 28) Since we have y in the denominator, we need to find the value of y that makes the expression in the denominator zero. This will give us a quadratic equation: y^2 + 28 = 48 Subtract 28 from both sides: y^2 = 20 Now, find the square root of both sides: y = sqrt(20) y = 2 * sqrt(5) Now that we have the value of y, we can substitute it back into the expression for x^2: x^2 = (2 * sqrt(5))^2 + 28 x^2 = 8 * 5 + 28 x^2 = 40 + 28 x^2 = 68 Finally, find the square root of both sides to get the value of x: x = sqrt(68) Now that we have both x and y, we can find the sum x + y: x + y = sqrt(68) + (2 * sqrt(5)) Using a calculator, we find that: x + y ≈ 11.29

in the e like second step where you said substitute this expression for x² into the second equation... the second equation is just XY=48. not x²y=48 you would need to take the square root of both sides and then put that value in for x. pass that your entire thing is wrong. try again though.

@@user-vx4lb8rj8r yes you ´re right The solution goes like We can solve this system of equations for x and y by recognizing it involves the difference of squares factorization. Here's how we proceed: Difference of Squares Factorization: The equation x^2 - y^2 = 28 can be rewritten using the difference of squares pattern a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b) where a = x and b = y. In this case, we have: (x + y)(x - y) = 28 Incorporate the Second Equation: We are also given xy = 48. We can use this information to express one variable in terms of the other. Since we're aiming to eliminate y, let's solve the second equation for y: y = 48 / x Substitute y in the First Equation: Now, substitute this expression for y in the first equation obtained from the difference of squares factorization: (x + (48 / x))(x - (48 / x)) = 28 Simplify and Solve: Expand the brackets in the resulting equation: x^2 + 48 - (48 / x) - x^2 = 28 48 - (48 / x) = 28 Subtract 28 from both sides: (48 / x) = 0 This equation leads to a contradiction because dividing by x cannot result in zero. Therefore, there are no real number solutions for x and y that satisfy both equations simultaneously.
Xis 8 and Y is 6
Too long method ! Better proceeding like this : Let X^2 =a and -X^2 =b and s=a+b .then ab=-(XY)^2 and using the equation t^2-st+p=0

Done in some 30 sec. The authors of this kind of puzzle profit from the conjuncture that they know the algorithm to create pythagorean triples which ordenary people don't. Given n^2 - m^2 = a and 2nm = b, n^2 + m^2 = c = sqrt(a^2 + b^2). In this case we can cancel 4 out of the first two numbers 28 and 96 = 2xy, so we get 7 and 24 as the legs of the right triangle. As 7 is small in comparison to 24, we guess that 25 is the hypothenuse. The difference between 24^2 and 25^2 is of course 49 (24 + 25), so 7 is the 2nd leg. Multiplied with the cancelled 4 we geht x = 96 and y = 28. So x + y = 124. Shoddy trick, poor juggler.

Your Question: "Why did you include the expressions (a+b)^2 and (a-b)^2 in the solution? What's the logic behind this?" Dear, The inclusion of (a+b)^2 and (a-b)^2 is part of a technique called the difference of squares formula. This formula is crucial in simplifying expressions involving squares. The difference of squares formula states that for any values of a and b: (a+b)^2 - (a-b)^2 = 4ab In the context of this specific problem, we utilized this formula to simplify the expression (x+y)^2 - (x-y)^2. By doing so, we transformed the expression into 4xy, which allowed us to work with the given information more efficiently. It's a common algebraic technique used to simplify expressions and solve equations involving squares. If you have further questions or if there's a specific part you'd like more clarification on, feel free to ask!
