x=1andy=1

Explanation:

Lets take the equation 3y+x2=(3+x)2

we'll apply (a+b)2=a2+b2+2ab on the RHS of the equation.

We get 3y+x2=9+x2+6x

3y6x=9

Divide both sides of the equation by 3.

y2x=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=1andy=1 it satisfies our equation.
