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?
