multiplying is the right answer
Step-by-step explanation:
multiplying is not a problem, multiplying the two polynomial equations also has real solutions
adding or substracting does not work though
(1) [tex]2x^2-4=0[/tex] has two real solutions
(2) [tex]x^2-8=0[/tex] has two real solutions
but (1) - (2) gives
[tex]2x^2-4-x^2+8=x^2+4[/tex] = 0
this one has no real solution
