Please help (75 points). How do you solve quadratic-quadratic systems? Please describe the steps of how to do it with an example. I can't find any real information on how to solve them.

(Below is an example of what I need to solve to pass my test).

Graphically: graph your equations and look for the intersections (these are your answers).

Algebraically: set your equations into y = format (below) and plug your values into the quadratic formula.

y = ax^2 + bx + c

(example: y = 2x^2 + 5x + 6; a = 2, b = 5, c = 6)
