$x=-1 and y=1$

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.

How do you solve this system of equations: -2x + y = 3 and 3y + x ^ { 2} = ( 3+ x ) ^ { 2}-2x + y = 3 and 3y + x ^ { 2} = ( 3+ x ) ^ { 2}?
