Answer:

(x, y) = (1, ±2)

Explanation:

To solve this pair of equations, one can add the second equation to twice the first:

2(2x +y^2) +(3x -2y^2) = 2(6) +(-5)

4x +3x = 12 -5 . . . . simplify a bit

7x = 7 . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms

x = 1 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 7

Then y can be found from the first equation:

y^2 = 6 -2x = 6 -2(1) = 4

y = ±√4 = ±2

The solutions are ...

(x, y) = (1, -2) or (1, 2)

2x + y 2 =6 3x-2y2 = -5-example-1
