Answer:

(x, y) = (0, 2), (7, 23)

Explanation:

I find a graphing calculator to be a quick and easy tool for finding the solution. The attached shows the solutions to be ...

(x, y) ∈ {(0, 2), (7, 23)}

__

Equating the expressions for y, we have a quadratic equation. It can be put into standard form and factored.

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

0 = x^2 -7x = x(x -7)

Solutions are values of x that make these factors zero, so are ...

x = 0 and x = 7

Corresponding values of y are ...

y = 3·0 +2 = 2 . . . (0, 2) is one solution

y = 3·7 +2 = 23 . . . (7, 23) is the other solution
