Answer

{$(-2,3),(\dfrac{12}{5},-\dfrac{29}{5})$}

Work Step by Step

Re-write the first equation as: $y=-2x-1$ First equation yields: $x^2+(-2x-1)^2+3(-2x-1)=22$ or, $5x^2--2x-24=0$ or,$(5x-2)(x+2)=0$ or, $x=${$-2,\dfrac{12}{5}$} From second equation $2x+y=-1$ when $x=-2$, we have $y=3$ From second equation $2x+y=-1$ when $x=\dfrac{12}{5}$, we have $y=-\dfrac{29}{5}$ Thus, solution set is: {$(-2,3),(\dfrac{12}{5},-\dfrac{29}{5})$}
