Nonlinear Systems of Equation:

Problem:

y = x^2
3x = y +2

Any assistance you can give me will greatly appreciated.

Thank you!:)

Try the substitution method... you know what y is in terms of x... try that.

y = x^2
3x = y +2 or y = 3x – 2

x^2 = 3x – 2
x^2 – 3x + 2 = 0
(x – 2) (x – 1) = 0

Therefore, x = 2 or 1
