Answer:

see below and attached

Explanation:

To solve a system of quadratic equations:

  • Equal the equations then rearrange so that it is set to zero.
  • Use the quadratic formula to solve.

I have done this (see attached workings) but cannot get any of the solutions you've provided. I have even graphed the two functions, and the points of intersection concur with my workings (see attached graph).
