Answer:

(x1, y1) = (1, 3)

(x2, y2) = (4, 12)

Explanation:

y= x^2 - 4

y= 5x - 8

(substitute the value for y)

x^2 - 4 = 5x - 8

(solve the equation)

x = 1

x = 4

(substitute the values)

y = 5 × 1 - 8

y = 5 × 4 - 8

(solve the equations)

y = -3

y = 12

( the possible solutions are)

x1, y1 = 1, -3

x2, y2 = 4, 12

(check the solutions)

-3 = 1^2 - 4

-3 = 5 × 1 - 8

12 = 4^2 - 4

12 = 5 × 4 - 8

(simplify)

-3 = -3

-3 = -3

12 = 12

12 = 12

(the ordered pairs are the solutions)
