Answer

The solutions of the system are $(9, -71)$ and $(-11,-91)$.

Work Step by Step

$x=y+80 \rightarrow y=x-80$ $y=-x^2-x+19$ Substitute $x-80$ for y $x-80=-x^2-x+19$ $x^2+2x-99=0$ $(x-9)(x+11)=0$ $x-9=0$ or $x+11=0$ $x=9$ or $x=-11$ Find corresponding y-values. Use either original equation $y=x-80$ $y=9-80$ or $y=(-11)-80$ $y=-71$ or $y=-91$ The solutions of the system are $(9, -71)$ and $(-11,-91)$.
