Answer:

You use substitution

Explanation:

Because you can see that y= both of those answers, you can set them equal to each other, creating the equation 2=x^2-3x-8

You then can use quadratics to solve the equation as follows:

-2 from both sides, 0=x^2-3x-10

Factors of -10 that add up to -3 are -5 and 2 leaving

0=(x-5)(x+2)

The 0 product property tells us that the answer is 5 and -2
