Answer:

(1, 5) and (5, 13)



Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equations is expressed as;

y= x^2 - 4x +8

y= 2x + 3

Since both equations are y values, we will equate the right hand side of both equations to have;

x^2 - 4x +8 = 2x+3

Equate to zero

x^2 - 4x +8 - 2x - 3 = 0

x^2 - 4x - 2x + 8 - 3 = 0

x^2 - 6x + 5 = 0

Factorize

x^2 - 5x - x + 5 = 0

x(x-5) - 1(x - 5) = 0

(x-1)(x-5) = 0

x - 1 = 0 and x-5 = 0

x = 1 and 5

when x = 1

y = 2x+3

y = 2(2) + 1

y = 4 + 1

y = 5

when x = 5

y = 2(5) + 3

y = 10 + 3

y = 13

Hence the solutions to the system of equations are (1, 5) and (5, 13)
