Answer:

The answer to your question is the letter A. (4, -8) and (1, -5)

Explanation:

Data

x + y = -4 Equation l

y = x² - 6x Equation ll

Process

1.- Substitute equation ll in equation l

x + x² - 6x = -4

2.- Solve the quadratic equation

x² - 5x + 4 = 0

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

-Solve for x

x₁ - 4 = 0 x₂ - 1 = 0

x₁ = 4 x ₂ = 1

3.- Substitute x₁ and x₂ in equation l

4 + y₁ = -4 1 + y₂ = -4

y₁ = -4 - 4 y₂ = -4 - 1

y₁ = -8 y₂ = -5

4.- Solutions

(4, -8) and (1, -5)
