Solve the following system (over the real numbers): \[\begin{cases}5x+5y+5xy-2xy^2-2x^2y=20 &\\ 3x+3y+3xy+xy^2+x^2y=23&\end{cases}\]

It has two real roots whose closed form are (in my opinion) quite ugly. So I let you use these closed forms and I just give numerical result (including $x=\frac 2{11}\frac{33-5y}{y+1}$ application) : $\boxed{\text{S1 : }(x,y)\sim(4.83366115349,0.20309754518)}$ $\boxed{\text{S2 : }(x,y)\sim(0.09720998049,5.86583007195)}$

Sorry, typo. Fixed now.

Just assume x+y = a and xy=b

5x+5y+5xy-2xy²-2x²y= 20 3x+3y+3xy+xy²+x²y=23 x+y= a, xy= b So, a+b= 6 a= 6-b 3a+3b+ab=23 b²-6b+5= 0 b=1 or b= 5 if b= 5, x²-x+5= 0 x is not real. So b= 1 a=5 x= 5+√21/2, 5-√21/2 y= 5-√21/2, 5+√21/2
