Step-by-step explanation

We are to analyze the system of equations graphically

For quadratic equations

If the graph of the quadratic function crosses the x-axis at two points then we have two solutions. If the graph touches the x-axis at one point then we have one solution. If the graph does not intersect with the x-axis then the equation has no real solution.

For the given simultaneous


\begin{gathered} (x+1)^2+y^2=9 \\ y-3=-(1)/(3)(x+1)^2 \end{gathered}

Plotting the two equations

From the graph, we have the solutions to be where the two graphs intersect


\begin{pmatrix}x=-4.0000\: & y=0 \\ x=-1.0000\: & y=3 \\ x=2,\: & y=0\end{pmatrix}

Therefore, there are 3 real solutions

Thus, the answer is
