One Equation, Two Variables

Usually we say that if we have two variables, we need two equations to solve, and if we have three variables, we need three equations to solve. This is not 100% true, however, and the problem below is a good example of a single equation in two variables which produce a single ordered pair solution.

Solve for the ordered pair (x,y) such that x2 + y2 - 2x + 4y = -5

Product of X and Y

For the ordered pair (x,y) the product of x and y is 108. If x + 2y = 30, find all possible ordered pairs (x,y).

 

Mary and Laura's Cookies

Mary and Laura Ingalls each receive a cookie. Because they are thoughtful children, they want to share with their little sister Carrie. Because their math skills aren't very advanced, they each eat half of a cookie, but then realize that leaves a full cookie for Carrie.

How much should each girl eat in order to share equally among the three sisters?
