good question to try...!!

given,

x + xy + y = 2 + 3√2 and,
x2 + y2 = 6

Then find the value of |x + y + 1|

options are :

1) 1 + √3
2) 2 - √3
3) 2 + √3
4) 3 - √2
5) 3 + √2

This is a good question no doubt...!!

i dont think it is as good as u hv mentioned.

simply, |x + y + 1|2 = x2+y2+1+2(x+y+xy) = 6+1+4+6√2 =(3+√2)2 .

lemme guess. did it involve a trig substitution

x+xy+y=2+3\sqrt{2}
\Rightarrow 2x+2xy+2y=4+6\sqrt{2}
x^2+y^2=6
\Rightarrow x^2+y^2+1=7
adding both we get,
x^2+y^2+1+2xy+2x+2y=11+6\sqrt{2}
\Rightarrow(x+y+1)^2=11+6\sqrt{2}
\Rightarrow(x+y+1)^2=(3+\sqrt{2})^2
\Rightarrow|x+y+1|=3+\sqrt{2}
