To solve the system of equations, we can set the two expressions for `y` equal to each other:

2x² - x + 1 = x² + 4x + 7

Now, let's solve for `x`:

2x² - x + 1 - x² - 4x - 7 = 0

x² - 5x - 6 = 0

We can factor this quadratic equation:

(x - 6)(x + 1) = 0

So, the solutions for `x` are:

x = 6

x = -1

Now, let's find the corresponding `y` values for each `x` value:

For x = 6:

y = 2(6)² - 6 + 1

y = 2(36) - 6 + 1

y = 72 - 6 + 1

y = 67

For x = -1:

y = 2(-1)² - (-1) + 1

y = 2(1) + 1 + 1

y = 2 + 1 + 1

y = 4

So, the solutions of the system of equations are:

(x, y) = (6, 67)

(x, y) = (-1, 4)
