Given:
4x + y = 5 ...
(1)
And
27x^2 + 21 xy + 2y^2 =
0 ... (2)
We factorise the left hand side of this
equation as follows:
27x^2 + 18 xy + 3xy + 2y^2 =
0
9x(3x + 2y) + y(3x + 2y) =
0
(3x + 2y)(9x + y) =
0
Therefore:
3x + 2y = 0 ...
(3)
9x + y = 0 ...
(4)
Equation (3) and equation (4) representing two factors
of equation (2) will give us two different sets of value for x an y. To find these two
sets of values we form two separate sets of equation, which are (1) with (3), and (1)
with (4).
First we solve equations (1) and (3) as
follows.
Multiplying equation (1) by 2 we
get:
8x + 2y = 10 ...
(5)
Subtracting equation (3) from equation (5) we
get:
8x - 3x + 2y - 2y = 10
5x
= 10
x = 2
Substituting this
value of x in equation (5)we get:
8*2 + 2y =
10
16 + 2y = 10
2y = 10 - 16 =
- 6
Therefore:
y = - 6/2 = -
3
This gives first set of values as x = 2, and y =
-3
Now we solve equation (1) and (4) as
follows:
Subtracting equation (1) from (4) we
get
9x - 4x + y - y = 0 - 5
5x
= - 5
Therefore x = - 5/5 = -
1
Substituting this value of x in equation (1) we
get
4(-1) + y = 5
- 4 + y =
5
y = 5 +4 = 9
This gives
second set of values as x = -1, and y = 9
