Answer:

(1, - 1) , (3, 3 )

Explanation:

Given the 2 equations

3 + y - 2x = 0 → (1)

3x² + 2y² - 4xy = 9 → (2)

In (1) subtract 3 - 2x from both sides

y = 2x - 3 → (3)

Substitute y = 2x - 3 into (2)

3x² + 2(2x - 3)² - 4x(2x - 3) = 9 ← distribute and simplify left side

3x² + 2(4x² - 12x + 9) - 8x² + 12x = 9

3x² + 8x² - 24x + 18 - 8x² + 12x = 0

3x² - 12x + 18 = 9 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

3x² - 12x + 9 = 0 ( divide through by 3 )

x² - 4x + 3 = 0 ← in standard form

(x - 1)(x - 3) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1

x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3

Substitute these values into (3) for corresponding values of y

x = 1 : y = 2(1) - 3 = 2 - 3 = - 1 ⇒ (1, - 1 )

x = 3 : y = 2(3) - 3 = 6 - 3 = 3 ⇒ (3, 3 )
