x^2+y^2=4

Explanation:

Here,

3(4-2x)=0

Dividing both sides by 3 ,we get

4-2x=0

i.e. 2x-4=0

Adding 4 both sides ,

2x-4+4=0+4

:.2x=4

Dividing both sides by 2 ,we get

color(red)(x=2

Again,

2y+4=4

Adding (-4) both sides

2y+4+(-4)=4+(-4)

:.2y=0

Dividing both sides by 2 ,we get

color(red)(y=0

So ,

x^2+y^2=color(red)((2)^2+(0)^2

:. x^2+y^2=4

The value of x^2 + y^2 is 4.

Explanation:

Simplify both equations and solve for x and y:

3(4-2x) = 0

Distribute the right hand side:
12 - 6x = 0

Subtract color(blue)12 from both sides:
12 - 6x quadcolor(blue)(-quad12) = 0 quadcolor(blue)(-quad12)

-6x = -12

Divide both sides by color(blue(-6):
(-6x)/color(blue)(-6) = (-12)/color(blue)(-6)

color(red)(x = 2)

2y + 4 = 4

Subtract color(blue)4 from both sides:
2y + 4 quadcolor(blue)(-quad4) = 4 quadcolor(blue)(-quad4)

2y = 0

Divide both sides by color(blue)2:
(2y)/color(blue)2 = 0/color(blue)2

color(red)(y = 0)

We want the value of x^2 + y^2, so:
2^2 + 0^2 = 4 + 0 = color(red)(4)

Hope this helps!

x^2+y^2=4

Explanation:

We can solve for x and y, and then square them to find the value of x^2+y^2.

We have the following:

3(4-2x)=0

We can divide both sides by 3 to get

-2x+4=0=>-2x=-4=>color(blue)(x=2)

We also have

2y+4=4

We can subtract 4 from both sides to get

2y=0=>color(red)(y=0)

Now, let's plug these values into x^2+y^2 to get

color(blue)(2^2)+color(red)(0^2)=4+0=4

Hope this helps!
