Question

It is given that $x$ and $y$ are integers in the following equation:
$$(x + y - 7)^2 + (y + 3x - 13)^2 = 0$$
The value of $(x^3 + y^3)$ is ________ (in integer).

Solving the Integer Equation

The given equation is: $ (x + y - 7)^2 + (y + 3x - 13)^2 = 0 $ Since the squares of real numbers are always non-negative, the sum of two squares can only be zero if each term is individually zero. Therefore, we have two separate equations:

  • Equation 1: \( x + y - 7 = 0 \)
  • Equation 2: \( y + 3x - 13 = 0 \)

Finding Integer Values for x and y

We need to solve this system of linear equations for the integers \(x\) and \(y\).

  1. From Equation 1, express \(y\) in terms of \(x\): $ y = 7 - x $
  2. Substitute this expression for \(y\) into Equation 2: $ (7 - x) + 3x - 13 = 0 $
  3. Simplify and solve for \(x\): $ 2x - 6 = 0 $ $ 2x = 6 $ $ x = 3 $
  4. Substitute the value of \(x = 3\) back into the expression for \(y\): $ y = 7 - 3 $ $ y = 4 $

The integer solutions are \(x = 3\) and \(y = 4\).

Calculating x³ + y³

Now, we calculate the value of \(x^3 + y^3\) using the found integer values:

$ x^3 + y^3 = 3^3 + 4^3 $ $ 3^3 = 3 \times 3 \times 3 = 27 $ $ 4^3 = 4 \times 4 \times 4 = 64 $ $ x^3 + y^3 = 27 + 64 $ $ x^3 + y^3 = 91 $

The calculated value of \( (x^3 + y^3) \) is 91.
