Answer:
x = 2
y = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
x² + y = 3 --------------------(i)
x² = 3 - y
x² - y = 5 ---------------------(ii)
substitute x² = 3 - y in equation (ii)
x² - y = 5
3 - y -y = 5 {Add like terms}
3 - 2y = 5 {Subtract 3 from both sides}
3 - 2y -3 = 5 - 3
-2y = 2 {divide both sides by -2}
-2y/-2 = 2/-2
y = -1
Substitute the value of y in equation (i)
x² + y = 3
x² - 1= 3 {Add 1 to both sides}
x² - 1 + 1 = 3+ 1
x² = 4
x = √4
x = 2
