  1. Subtract them from each other to get:

    x^2 - 2x = 3

    Move 3:

    x^2 - 2x -  3 = 0

    Use quadratic formula to solve for x, and plug x values back in an original equation to find y values.


  2. Add them to get x^2 - 2x = 15

    so x^2 - 2x +1 = 16 which means (x -1) = 4 or -4. so x = 5 or -3.The you can caculate y for these values of x

  3. x² - y² = 9

    y² = x² - 9

    y² - 2x = 6

    y² = 2x + 6

    Value of x:

    x² - 9 = 2x + 6

    x² - 2x = 15

    x² - x = 15 + 1

    (x - 1)² = 16

    x - 1 = 4

    x = 5

    Value of y:

    y² = 5² - 9

    y² = 25 - 9

    y² = 16

    y = 4

    Answer: x = 5, y = 4

    Proof (1st equation):

    5² - 4² = 9

    25 - 16 = 9

    9 = 9

    Proof (2nd equation):

    4² - 2(5) = 6

    16 - 10 = 6

    6 = 6

  4. hi

    y^2-2x=6  ==>

    y^2=6+2x

    x^2-y^2=9  ==>add them

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

    (x-3)(x+1)=0

    x=3  ,  x=-1
