We'll re-write the equations of the system, using the
given laws of composition.
(x-5)*y=4,
where
x*y=x+y-5
We'll
substitute x by (x-5).
(x-5)*y = x - 5 + y -
5
We'll combine like terms:
x
+ y - 10 = 4
x + y = 10+4
x +
y = 14 (1)
Now, we'll re-write the second equation of the
system using the second law of
composition.
(x-y)o6=12
xoy=xy-5(x+y)+30
We'll
substitute x by (x-y) and y by 6:
(x-y)o6 = 6(x-y) -
5(x-y+6) + 30
We'll remove the
brackets:
6x - 6y - 5x + 5y - 30 + 30 =
12
We'll eliminate and combine like
terms:
x - y = 12 (2)
We'll
solve the system formed from (1) and (2). We'll add (1) +
(2):
x + y + x - y = 14 +
12
We'll eliminate and combine like
terms:
2x = 26
x
= 13
We'll substitute x in
(1):
x + y = 14
13 + y =
14
y = 14 - 13
y =
1
Since both values are integers, we'll
validate them, therefore the solution of the system is: {13 ,
1}.
