To solve the system of equations:

First Equation: 3x² - 6x + 5 = 2

Second Equation: y = (x - 1)² + 2

We can start by finding the value of x from the first equation and then substitute it into the second equation to find y.

Let's solve the first equation:

3x² - 6x + 5 = 2

Rearranging the equation:

3x² - 6x + 3 = 0

This quadratic equation can be solved using the quadratic formula:

x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac)) / (2a)

For our equation a = 3, b = -6, and c = 3:

x = (-(-6) ± √((-6)² - 4(3)(3))) / (2(3))

x = (6 ± √(36 - 36)) / 6

x = (6 ± √0) / 6

x = (6 ± 0) / 6

We have x = 1 for both cases, so x = 1.

Now we can substitute x = 1 into the second equation to find y:

y = (x - 1)² + 2

y = (1 - 1)² + 2

y = 0² + 2

y = 0 + 2

y = 2

Therefore, the solution to the given system of equations is x = 1 and y = 2.
