Answer:

x1= 6

x2= -1

y1= -2

y2= 5

Explanation:

To solve this problem, you need to make the equation only have 1 variable (either x or y). Let's try to make the equation only have x variable. To do this you need to change one of the equations into y=...

x + y -4 = 0

y=4-x

After this, you can insert the new equation into 1st equation, then you can solve x

x² + 5y – 26 = 0

x² + 5 (4-x)– 26 = 0

x² + 20 -5x – 26 = 0

x² -5x – 6 = 0

(x-6) (x+1)

x1= 6

x2= -1

Then y will be:

y1= 4-x1

y1=4-6

y1= -2

y2= 4-x2

y2= 4=(-1)

y2= 5
