Answer

$$\left\{ {\left( { - 3, - 9} \right),\left( {1,7} \right)} \right\}$$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & y = 6x + {x^2} \cr & 4x - y = - 3 \cr & \cr & {\text{Substitute }}6x + {x^2}{\text{ for }}y{\text{ into the equation }}\left( {\bf{2}} \right) \cr & 4x - 6x - {x^2} = - 3 \cr & 4x - 6x - {x^2} + 3 = 0 \cr & - {x^2} - 2x + 3 = 0 \cr & {x^2} + 2x - 3 = 0 \cr & {\text{Solve for }}x \cr & \left( {x + 3} \right)\left( {x - 1} \right) = 0 \cr & {x_1} = - 3,\,\,\,\,{x_2} = 1 \cr & \cr & {\text{Substitute }}{x_1} = - 3{\text{ into the equation }}\left( {\bf{1}} \right){\text{ to find }}\left( {{x_1},{y_1}} \right) \cr & y = 6\left( { - 3} \right) + {\left( { - 3} \right)^2} \cr & y = - 9 \cr & {\text{The first solution is }}\left( { - 3, - 9} \right) \cr & \cr & {\text{Substitute }}{x_2} = 1{\text{ into the equation }}\left( {\bf{1}} \right){\text{ to find }}\left( {{x_1},{y_1}} \right) \cr & y = 6\left( 1 \right) + {\left( 1 \right)^2} \cr & y = 7 \cr & {\text{The second solution is }}\left( {1,7} \right) \cr & \cr & {\text{Therefore, the solution set of the system is}} \cr & \left\{ {\left( { - 3, - 9} \right),\left( {1,7} \right)} \right\} \cr} $$
