To solve this system of equations, we can start by solving the first equation for one of the variables. Let's solve for y in terms of x:
Xy = 10y = 10/x
Now, we can substitute y = 10/x into the second equation:
(lg x)(lg(10/x)) = -2(lg x)(lg 10 - lg x) = -2(lg x)(1 - lg x) = -2lg x - (lg x)^2 = -2(lg x)^2 - lg x - 2 = 0
Let's make a substitution to make the equation simpler. Let p = lg x:
p^2 - p - 2 = 0(p - 2)(p + 1) = 0
From this, we get two possible solutions for p:
p = 2 or p = -1
Now, we need to find the corresponding values for x using the property of logarithms:
lg x = 2 or lg x = -1
x = 10^2 or x = 10^-1x = 100 or x = 0.1
Now that we have found possible values for x, we can find the corresponding values for y using y = 10/x:
When x = 100: y = 10/100 = 0.1When x = 0.1: y = 10/0.1 = 100
Therefore, the solutions to the system of equations are x = 100, y = 0.1 and x = 0.1, y = 100.

(lg x)(lg 10 - lg x) = -2
(lg x)(1 - lg x) = -2
lg x - (lg x)^2 = -2
(lg x)^2 - lg x - 2 = 0
