Question #b1629 Algebra Systems of Equations and Inequalities Systems Using Substitution 1 Answer iceman Mar 16, 2017 (-8/3, -5/3) , (2, 3) Explanation: y=x+1 => eq-1 2x^2+y^2=17 => eq-2 Substitute x+1 from 1 for y in 2: 2x^2+(x+1)^2=17 => expand: 2x^2+x^2+2x+1=17 => simplify: 3x^2+2x-16=0 =>factor by grouping: 3x^2-6x+8x-16=0 3x(x-2)+8(x-2)=0 (3x+8)(x-2)=0 x=-8/3, 2 => substitute in 1 solve for y: y=-5/3, 3 Answer link Related questions How do you solve systems of equations using the substitution method?
