Answer

$(-3,2), (3,2), (-2,-3),(2,-3)$

Work Step by Step

We are given the system: $\begin{cases} x^2-y=7\\ x^2+y^2=13 \end{cases}$ We will use the addition method. Multiply Equation 1 by -1 and add it to Equation 2 to eliminate $x$ and determine $y$: $\begin{cases} -x^2+y=-7\\ x^2+y^2=13 \end{cases}$ $-x^2+y+x^2+y^2=-7+13$ $y^2+y-6=0$ $y^2-2y+3y-6=0$ $y(y-2)+3(y-2)=0$ $(y-2)(y+3)=0$ $y-2=0\Rightarrow y_1=2$ $y+3=0\Rightarrow y_2=-3$ Substitute each of the values of $y$ in Equation 1 to determine $x$: $x^2-y=7$ $y_1=2\Rightarrow x^2-2=7\Rightarrow x^2=9\Rightarrow x_1=-3,x_2=3$ $y_2=-3\Rightarrow x^2-(-3)=7\Rightarrow x^2=4\Rightarrow x_1=-2,x_2=2$ The system's solutions are: $(-3,2), (3,2), (-2,-3),(2,-3)$
