By raising #6# to both sides of the equations,

#{(3x^2+y^2=28),(x+y=6 => y=6-x):}#

by substituting the second equation into the first equation,

#3x^2+(6-x)^2=28 => 4x^2-12x+8=0#

by dividing by #4#,

#=> x^2-3x+2=0#

by factoring out,

#=>(x-1)(x-2)=0 => x=1,2 => y=5,4#

Hence, the solutions are

#(x,y)=(1,5)# and #(2,4)#


I hope that this was helpful.
