$\left\{\begin{array} { l } x+y=6 \\ {x}^{2}+{y}^{2}=28\end{array} \right.$
$\left\{\begin{array} { l } x=6-y \\ {x}^{2}+{y}^{2}=28\end{array} \right.$
${\left( 6-y \right)}^{2}+{y}^{2}=28$
$\begin{array} { l }y=3+\sqrt{ 5 },\\y=3-\sqrt{ 5 }\end{array}$
$\begin{array} { l }x=6-\left( 3+\sqrt{ 5 } \right),\\y=3-\sqrt{ 5 }\end{array}$
$\begin{array} { l }x=6-\left( 3+\sqrt{ 5 } \right),\\x=6-\left( 3-\sqrt{ 5 } \right)\end{array}$
$\begin{array} { l }x=3-\sqrt{ 5 },\\x=6-\left( 3-\sqrt{ 5 } \right)\end{array}$
$\begin{array} { l }x=3-\sqrt{ 5 },\\x=3+\sqrt{ 5 }\end{array}$
$\begin{array} { l }\left( x_1, y_1\right)=\left( 3-\sqrt{ 5 }, 3+\sqrt{ 5 }\right),\\\left( x_2, y_2\right)=\left( 3+\sqrt{ 5 }, 3-\sqrt{ 5 }\right)\end{array}$
$\begin{array} { l }\left\{\begin{array} { l } 3-\sqrt{ 5 }+3+\sqrt{ 5 }=6 \\ {\left( 3-\sqrt{ 5 } \right)}^{2}+{\left( 3+\sqrt{ 5 } \right)}^{2}=28\end{array} \right.,\\\left\{\begin{array} { l } 3+\sqrt{ 5 }+3-\sqrt{ 5 }=6 \\ {\left( 3+\sqrt{ 5 } \right)}^{2}+{\left( 3-\sqrt{ 5 } \right)}^{2}=28\end{array} \right.\end{array}$
$\begin{array} { l }\left\{\begin{array} { l } 6=6 \\ 28=28\end{array} \right.,\\\left\{\begin{array} { l } 3+\sqrt{ 5 }+3-\sqrt{ 5 }=6 \\ {\left( 3+\sqrt{ 5 } \right)}^{2}+{\left( 3-\sqrt{ 5 } \right)}^{2}=28\end{array} \right.\end{array}$
$\begin{array} { l }\left\{\begin{array} { l } 6=6 \\ 28=28\end{array} \right.,\\\left\{\begin{array} { l } 6=6 \\ 28=28\end{array} \right.\end{array}$
$\begin{array} { l }\left( x_1, y_1\right)=\left( 3-\sqrt{ 5 }, 3+\sqrt{ 5 }\right),\\\left( x_2, y_2\right)=\left( 3+\sqrt{ 5 }, 3-\sqrt{ 5 }\right)\end{array}$

The car with an irresponsible driver starts to brake when it goes through a red light. When passing the traffic light, he does so at a speed of 115 kph in the right lane. Further ahead, 70 meters from the traffic light, a child is crossing the street and falls. If the effect of the car's brakes is equivalent to a deceleration of magnitude 5.7m/s². Is the child hit by the car or not? How far from the traffic light does the car stop?
