From 1st equation  y = 20 - 2x     sub this into 2nd eqaution

 

x^2 + x (20-2x) =47

-x^2 +20x - 47 = 0              quadratic equation shows x =   10 +-sqrt 53

 

sub into one of the equations (the first is easiest ) to find y = -2sqrt53    when x = 10 + sqrt 53

                                                                                   and y = 2 sqrt53    when x = 10 - sqrt53
