Answer:

(4,12)

(-1,-3)

Explanation:

x^2 - y = 4

y = 3x

Use substitution. Substitute 3x for y in the first equation

x^2 - (3x) = 4

x^2 -3x =4

Subtract 4 from each side

x^2 -3x -4 = 4-4

x^2 -3x-4 =0

Factor

(x-4) (x+1) =0

Using the zero product property

x-4 =0 x+1 =0

x=4 x=-1

Now to find y for each x solution

x=4

y =3x = 3(4) =12

(4,12)

x=-1

y =3x = 3(-1) =-3

(-1,-3)
