#x=-1 and y=1#

Lets take the equation #3y+x^2=(3+x)^2#

we'll apply #(a+b)^2=a^2+b^2+2ab# on the RHS of the equation.

We get #3y+x^2=9+x^2+6x#

#3y-6x=9#

Divide both sides of the equation by 3.

#y-2x=3#

As you can see its the same as the first equation that is #-2x+y=3#

We have two same linear equations.

Therefore we'll have to try hit and trial method on this linear equation.

If we keep #x=-1 and y=1# it satisfies our equation.
