Jordan is jogging on a path modeled by the equation x+y=25. Katherine is jogging on a path modeled by the equation y^2/60^2+x^2/40^2=1. At what points do their paths intersect? Show your work.

Question

Need help I don't understand this problem

Answer 1

proceeding as Brenda suggests

should wind up with for x coordinates of two solutions

13x²-200x-12300=0

x either 39.4 or -24

plugging into line equation,

y either -14.4 or 49

that is solutions are (39.4,-14.4) and (-24,49)
