Let's see if we can solve this......
In the second equation, we can add y to both sides and subtract 2 from both sides.
So we have
y = x^2 - 2 and
y = -3x + 2 So setting the "y's" equal, we have
x^2 - 2 = -3x + 2 Subtracting everything on the right on both sides, we have
x^2 + 3x - 4 = 0 And factoring, we have
(x + 4) (x - 1) = 0 And setting both factors to 0, we have
x = -4 and x = 1 And using y = -3x + 2 and substituting both values of x
We find that y = 14 when x = -4 and y = -1 when x = 1
So our solutions are (-4, 14) and ( 1, -1)
