You asked:

Given the following equations: \[\begin{aligned}x + y &= 5\\ x - y &= 1\end{aligned}\] Evaluate \({x}^{2} + \frac{{y}^{2}}{x y}\).

MathBot Answer:

The system of linear equations has exactly one solution.

The substitutions are \( x = 3 \), \( y = 2 \).

\[{x}^{2} + \frac{{y}^{2}}{x y} = \frac{29}{3}\]


Solve \(x + y = 5\) for \(x\). \[x = 5 - y\]

Substitute \(5 - y\) for \(x\) in \(x - y = 1\) and simplify. $$\begin{aligned}x - y &= 1 \\ \left(5 - y\right) - y &= 1 \\ y &= 2 \end{aligned}$$

Use substitution of the numerical value of \(y\) to get the values of \(x\). $$\begin{aligned}x &= 5 - y \\ x &= 5 - 2 \\ x &= 3\end{aligned}$$

By substituting these values into the expression, we find that:$$\begin{aligned} {x}^{2} + \frac{{y}^{2}}{x y} &= \frac{1}{3} \cdot 2 + 3^{2}\\ &=\frac{29}{3}\end{aligned}$$
