Answer

$$\left\{ {\left( { - 2,2} \right),\left( {1,1} \right)} \right\}$$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & {x^2} + y = 2\,\,\,\left( {\bf{1}} \right) \cr & x - y = 0\,\,\,\,\,\left( {\bf{2}} \right) \cr & \cr & {\text{Add both equations to eliminate }}y \cr & {x^2}\,\, + 0x + y = 2 \cr & \underline {\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,x\,\,\, - y = 0} \cr & {x^2} + x\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = 2 \cr & \cr & {\text{Solve the quadratic equation }}{x^2} + x = 2 \cr & {x^2} + x - 2 = 0 \cr & \left( {x + 2} \right)\left( {x - 1} \right) = 0 \cr & {x_1} = - 2,\,\,\,{x_2} = 1 \cr & \cr & {\text{From the equation }}\left( {\bf{2}} \right){\text{ we have that}} \cr & x - y = 0 \cr & x = y \cr & \cr & {\text{Let }}{x_1} = - 2 \cr & x = y \cr & {y_1} = 2 \cr & {\text{The first solution is }}\left( { - 2, - 2} \right) \cr & and \cr & {\text{Let }}{x_2} = 1 \cr & x = y \cr & {y_2} = 1 \cr & {\text{The second solution is }}\left( {1,1} \right) \cr & \cr & {\text{Therefore, the solution set of the system is}} \cr & \left\{ {\left( { - 2,2} \right),\left( {1,1} \right)} \right\} \cr} $$
