Solution set is (-2,-1) or (-1,2)

Explanation:

As y=3x+5, x^2+y^2=5

hArrx^2+(3x+5)^2=5 or

x^2×9x^2+2×3x×5+25=5 or

10x^2+30x+20=0 or dividing by 10, we get

x^2+3x+2=0 or

x^2+x+2x×2=0 or

x(x+1)+2(x+1)=0 or

(x+2)(x+1)=0 i.e.

x=-2 or x=-1

Hence y=3×(-2)+5=-1 or

y=3×(-1)+5=2

Hence solution set is (-2,-1) or (-1,2)
