Solve the simultaneous equations: y = x + 6, x^2 + 2y = 9

y = x + 3x² + 2y = 9We want to make the squared equation have either only x's or only y's, so we substitute y = x + 3 into the equation:x² + 2(x + 3) = 9We need to take out the brackets, and simplify this equation.x² + 2x + 6 = 9x² + 2x - 3 = 0This is now in the form of a quadratic, so we can solve it:x² + 2x - 3 = 0(x + 3)(x - 1) = 0 so therefore, x = -3, x = 1These answers for the x-values can give us the y-values, if we substitute them into the original equation:When x = -3, y = -3 + 3 y = 0When x = 1 y = 1 + 3 y = 4We can check our answers by substituting them into the original equation:x = -3, y = 0] (3)² + 2(0) = 9 = CORRECTx = 1, y = 4] (1)² + 2(4) = 1 + 8 = 9 = CORRECT
