How do you solve the system 3x2−y2=−6 and y=2x+1? Precalculus Solving Systems of Two Equations Solving by Substitution 1 Answer Ratnaker Mehta Aug 29, 2016 (x,y)=(1,3),or,(−5,−9). Explanation: We submit y=2x+1 in the first eqn. and get, 3x2−(2x+1)2+6=0 ⇒−x2−4x+5=0,or,x2+4x−5=0. ⇒(x−1)(x+5)=0 ⇒x=1,or,−5. ⇒y=2x+1=3,or,−9 Therefore, the solns. are (x,y)=(1,3),or,(−5,−9), which satisfy the set of eqns.
