Multiply first equation  x 3   to get   3x^2 - 3y = 21   and add it to second equation to get

5x^2 =45   divide by 5

x^2 = 9      x =3

 

substitute x=3 into one of the equations

the first one    3^2-y = 7      9-y = 7     -y = -2   y=2

SO:    x,y  =  3,2

 

   

As a check substitute these values into equation 2

 

2(3^2) + 3(2)  =  24 ??

18 + 6 = 24                       CHECK !
