I got:
x_1=3 and y_1=6
x_2=-1 and y_2=-2

Explanation:

We can try substituting the first into the second equation for y to get:
2x=x^2-3
x^3-2x-3=0
solve using the Quadratic Formula:
x_(1,2)=(2+-sqrt(4+12))/2=(2+-4)/2
we get two solutions:
x_1=6/2=3
x_2=-2/3=-1

These two values, substituted into the first equation will give us:
x_1=3 then y_1=2*3=6
x_2=-1 then y_2=2*(-1)=-2
