Answer

The solutions of the system are $(7, 114)$ and $(-6,-42)$

Work Step by Step

$y-30=12x \rightarrow y=12x+30$ $y=x^2+11x-12$ Substitute $12x+30$ for y $12x+30=x^2+11x-12$ $x^2-x-42=0$ $(x-7)(x+6)=0$ $x-7=0$ or $x+6=0$ $x=7$ or $x=-6$ Find corresponding y-values. Use either original equation $y=12x+30$ $y=12(7)+30$ or $y=12(-6)+30$ $y=114$ or $x=-42$ The solutions of the system are $(7, 114)$ and $(-6,-42)$.
