Hi there!
Solve by setting the two equations equal to each other:
-2x² + 4x + 8 = -4x + 16
Move all terms to one side:
-2x² + 4x + 4x + 8 - 16 = 0
Simplify:
-2x² + 8x - 8 = 0
Factor out a negative 2 from each term:
-2(x² - 4x + 4) = 0
Factor:
-2(x - 2)² = 0
Set the factor equal to 0 to solve:
(x - 2)² = 0
x - 2 = 0
x = 2
Substitute this value of x into an equation to find the shared y value:
y = -4(2) + 16 = 8
