Answer:

y = 1 x = 2

y = 3/2 x = 19/2

Step-by-step explanation:

x = -3y + 5

y(-3y + 5) + y² = 3

-3y² + 5y + y² = 3

-2y² + 5y = 3

2y² - 5y + 3 = 0

2 x 3 = 6

-3 x -2 = 6

2y² - 2y - 3y + 3

2y(y - 1) -3(y - 1)

(2y - 3) (y - 1)

y = 1 -- x = -3(1) + 5 = 2

y = 3/2 -- x = -3(3/2) + 5 = 19/2 (might want to check w a calculator since i didnt use one)
