Hey there! :)

Answer:

Last option. (-1, 0) and (0, 6).

Explanation:

Solve this system by setting the two equations equal to each other:

6x + 6 = -x² + 5x + 6

Rearrange the equation:

x² + 6x + 6 - 5x - 6 = 0

Combine like terms:

x² + x = 0

Factor out x:

x(x + 1) = 0

Set each factor equal to 0:

x = 0

x + 1 = 0

x = -1

These are the x values of the solutions. Plug these into an equation to solve for y:

y = 6(0) + 6

y = 6

-------

y = 6(-1) + 6

y = -6 + 6

y = 0

Therefore, the solutions to the equation are (-1, 0) and (0, 6).
