Solve the following system of equations in real $a,\,b,\,c,\,d$:
$a+b=9$
$ab+c+d=29$
$ad+bc=39$
$cd=18$
Previously we tried the elimination route and we failed.

Third Method of Solving IMO Optimization Contest Problem: Find the minimum value of $xy$,
Third Method of Solving IMO Optimization Contest Problem:
Find the minimum value of $xy$, given that $x^2+y^2+z^2=7$, $xy+xz+yz=4$, and $x, y$ and $z$ are real numbers.
This third method is provided by Mark, another blog contributor and he approached the problem using the well-known Lagrange multipliers method:
