$${x}+{y}=\mathrm{5}\Rightarrow{x}=\mathrm{5}−{y}\Rightarrow{x}^{{x}} =\left(\mathrm{5}−{y}\right)^{\mathrm{5}−{y}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{x}^{{x}} +{y}^{{y}} =\left(\mathrm{5}−{y}\right)^{\mathrm{5}−{y}} +{y}^{{y}} =\mathrm{31} \\ $$$$\mathrm{I}\:\mathrm{think}\:\mathrm{only}\:\mathrm{numerical}\:\mathrm{methods}! \\ $$ | ||
