Answer

$x=3 \quad$ and $\quad y=-3$ or $x=-1 \quad$ and $\quad y=-3$

Work Step by Step

We substitute -3 for $y$ in the first equation. $$ \begin{aligned} y & =2 x-x^2 \\ -3 & =2 x-x^2 \\ x^2-2 x-3 & =0 \\ (x-3)(x+1) & =0 \end{aligned} $$ This gives $x=3$ or $x=-1$. The system's solutions are: $x=3 \quad$ and $\quad y=-3$ or $x=-1 \quad$ and $\quad y=-3$
