Answer

$(-3,-5),(1,3)$

Work Step by Step

Substitute the expression $4-x^2$ for $y$ in the second equation. $$ \begin{array}{r} y-2 x=1 \\ 4-x^2-2 x=1 \\ -x^2-2 x+3=0 \\ x^2+2 x-3=0\\ (x+3)(x-1)=0 \end{array} $$ This gives $x=-3 \quad$ and $\quad y=4-(-3)^2=-5$ or $x=1 \quad$ and $\quad y=4-1^2=3$
