Q. \begin{aligned} y&=10+16x-x^2 \\ y&=3x+50 \end{aligned} If (x1,y1)(x_1,y_1) and (x2,y2)(x_2,y_2) are distinct solutions to the system of equations shown, what is the sum of the y1y_1 and y2y_2?
  1. Set Equations Equal: To find the distinct solutions (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1) and (x2,y2)(x_2, y_2) to the system of equations, we need to set the two equations equal to each other and solve for xx.\begin{aligned}1010 + 1616x - x^22 &= 33x + 5050 \x^22 - 1313x + 4040 &= 00\end{aligned}
  2. Factor Quadratic Equation: Now we factor the quadratic equation to find the values of xx.\begin{aligned}(x - 55)(x - 88) &= 00\end{aligned}This gives us two solutions for xx: x1=5x_1 = 5 and x2=8x_2 = 8.
  3. Substitute x1x_1 for y1y_1: We substitute x1=5x_1 = 5 into one of the original equations to find y1y_1.\newline\begin{aligned} y_1 &= 3(5) + 50 \ y_1 &= 15 + 50 \ y_1 &= 65 \end{aligned}
  4. Substitute x2x^2 for y2y^2: We substitute x2=8x^2 = 8 into one of the original equations to find y2y^2.\newline\begin{aligned}\newliney^22 &= 33(88) + 5050 (\newline\)y^22 &= 2424 + 5050 (\newline\)y^22 &= 7474\newline\end{aligned}
  5. Find Sum of y1y_1 and y2y_2: Now we find the sum of y1y_1 and y2y_2.\newline\begin{aligned} y_1 + y_2 &= 65 + 74 \ y_1 + y_2 &= 139 \end{aligned}
