Solving x^2 + 2y = 9 w/ Sub Method

In summary, the conversation discussed using the substitution method to solve the equations x^2 + 2y = 9 and x - y + 3 = 0. By substituting y with x+3, the equations were simplified and factored to find the values of x, which were then substituted back into the original equations to solve for y. The solutions were found to be (x,y) = (-3,0) and (x,y) = (1,4).

use the subtitution method to solve.
x^2 + 2y = 9
x - y + 3 = 0


y=x+3 -> (3)
substitute for y with x+3, you get:
x^2+2(x+3)=9 x2+2x−3=0

factorize it to get:
(x+3)(x−1)=0 x=−3,x=1

substitute for each value of x in equation 3
x=−3y=−3+3=0

x=1y=1+3=4


(x,y)=(−3,0),(x,y)=(1,4)

Is this right?

You can check for yourself. Do you get true statements for the two equations when x=-3, y = 0 and when x = 1, y = 4?

So its right!
