Answer:
x = 2 and y = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equations are :
y-x = 3 ......(1)
xy = 10 or
x = (10/y) ....(2)
Put the value of x in equation (1).
[tex]y-\dfrac{10}{y}= 3\\\\y^2-10=3y\\\\y^2-3y-10=0\\\\y=0\ and\ y=5[/tex]
Put the value of y in equation (2).
[tex]x=\dfrac{10}{5}\\\\x=2[/tex]
So, the value of x is equal to 2 and that of y is equal to 5.
