Answer

$C_1=5.74\mu F$ $C_2=29.26\mu F$

Work Step by Step

$C_1+C_2=35.0\mu F$ $C_1=35.0\mu F-C_2$ $\frac{1}{\frac{1}{C_1}+\frac{1}{C_2}}=4.8\mu F$ $\frac{1}{C_1}+\frac{1}{C_2}=\frac{1}{4.8\mu F}$ $\frac{C_2+C_1}{C_1C_2}=\frac{1}{4.8\mu F}$ $\frac{35.0\mu F}{35.0\mu FC_2-C_2^2}=\frac{1}{4.8\mu F}$ $35.0\mu FC_2-C_2^2=168\mu F$ Two solutions: $C_2=5.74\mu F$ and $C_2=29.26\mu F$ $C_1=5.74\mu F$ $C_2=29.26\mu F$
