Answer:

(4,7), (-1,12)

Explanation:

I will solve using elimination by subtracting one equation from the other.

y = x² - 4x + 7

- y = -x + 11

__________

0 = x² - 3x -4

0 = (x - 4)(x + 1)

x = 4, x = -1

We can plug in these values to get the corresponding y -values.

The solutions should be : (4,7), (-1,12)
