We'll re-write the first equation factorizing by
3:
3(x^2 - y^2) = 27
We'll
divide by 3:
x^2 - y^2 = 9
(1)
x - y = 1 (2)
We notice
that we can re-write (1) as a product, being a difference of
squares:
(x-y)(x+y) = 9
But
x-y = 1 => x + y = 9 (3)
We'll add (3) to
(2):
x + y + x – y = 9 +
1
We'll eliminate like
terms:
2x = 10
x =
5
We'll substitute x = 5 into
(2):
5 – y = 1
-y = -5 +
1
y = 4
The
solution of the system is represented by the pair {5 ;
4}.
