Answer:

11 and 13

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 24

y = -x +24

x - y = 2

y = x - 2

x - 2 = -x + 24

2x = 26

x = 13

x + y = 24

13 + y = 24

y = 11

11 + 13 = 26

their difference = 2 (13-11)

How to solve this system of equal: x+y+z=1;x^2+y^2+z^2=1

swat32

There are infinitely many solutions.

Algebraically, we can eliminate $z$ and try to solve for $x,y$ :

$x+y+z=1\implies z=1-x-y$

Then

$x^2+y^2+(1-x-y)^2=1$

$\implies x^2+y^2+1-2x+x^2-2y+y^2+2xy=1$

$\implies x^2-x+y^2-y+xy=0$

which is the equation of an ellipse.
