<s>[INST] What is the value of $\sqrt{49-x^2}+\sqrt{25-x^2}, x \in \mathbb{R}$ if $\sqrt{49-x^2}-\sqrt{25-x^2}=3$ Suppose that real number $x$ satisfies $$\sqrt{49-x^2}-\sqrt{25-x^2}=3$$What is the value of $\sqrt{49-x^2}+\sqrt{25-x^2}$?

This is what I did:
I try to multiply by the conjugate. Its value I believe is technically the solution. $(\sqrt {49-x^2} + \sqrt {25-x^2})(\sqrt {49-x^2} - \sqrt {25-x^2})=24$. Given that $(\sqrt {49-x^2} - \sqrt {25-x^2}) = 3$, $(\sqrt {49-x^2} + \sqrt {25-x^2})(\sqrt {49-x^2} - \sqrt {25-x^2})= 3(\sqrt {49-x^2} + \sqrt {25-x^2}) =24\implies \sqrt {49-x^2} + \sqrt {25-x^2}=8$ 

My question is that will this method work for similar problems, and is there a faster method?
Thanks!
 [/INST] Multiplying both sides by $\sqrt {49-x^2} + \sqrt {25-x^2}$, yields:
$$(\sqrt {49-x^2} + \sqrt {25-x^2})(\sqrt {49-x^2} - \sqrt {25-x^2})=3(\sqrt {49-x^2} + \sqrt {25-x^2})$$
$$(49-x^2 - (25-x^2)=3(\sqrt {49-x^2} + \sqrt {25-x^2})$$
Thus,
$$\sqrt {49-x^2} + \sqrt {25-x^2}=8.$$
