Answer

$(0,-3), (2,1)$

Work Step by Step

We are given the system: $\begin{cases} 2x-y=3\\ (x-1)^2+(y+1)^2=5 \end{cases}$ We will use the substitution method. Solve Equation 1 for $y$ and substitute the expression of $y$ in Equation 2 to eliminate $y$ and determine $x$: $\begin{cases} y=2x-3\\ (x-1)^2+(2x-3+1)^2=5 \end{cases}$ $(x-1)^2+(2x-2)^2=5$ $x^2-2x+1+4x^2-8x+4=5$ $5x^2-10x+5-5=0$ $5x^2-10x=0$ $5x(x-2)=0$ $x=0\Rightarrow x_1=0$ $x-2=0\Rightarrow x_2=2$ Substitute each of the values of $x$ in the expression of $y$ to determine $y$: $y=2x-3$ $x_1=0\Rightarrow y_1=2(0)-3=-3$ $x_2=2\Rightarrow y_2=2(2)-3=1$ The system's solutions are: $(0,-3), (2,1)$
