Fill in the blank to correctly complete the sentence.
The following nonlinear system has two solutions, one of which is $(6, \\)$.
\[ x + y = 13 \]
\[ x^2 + y^2 = 85 \]
One of the solutions of the system is $(6, \\)$.
(Type an integer or a simplified fraction.)
Solution
We want to solve the following nonlinear system with the condition that one of the solutions is \((6, y)\): \[ \begin{cases} x + y = 13 & \\ x^2 + y^2 = 85 & \end{cases} \] Substitute \(x = 6\) into the first equation: \[ 6 + y = 13 \] Solve for \(y\): \[ y = 13 - 6 \] \[ y = 7 \] Now verify the solution by substituting \(x = 6\) and \(y = 7\) into the second equation: \[ 6^2 + 7^2 = 85 \] \[ 36 + 49 = 85 \] \[ 85 = 85 \] This confirms that \((6, 7)\) is indeed a solution. The solution is \((6, 7)\).
