Answer

$ \{ (-3, 6),(1,2) \}$

Work Step by Step

We can write the system of equations as: $x^2=2y-3~~~(1) \\ x+ y=3 ~~~(2)$ Equation (2) can be re-written as: $y=3-x$ Plug $y=3-x$ in equation (1) to obtain: $ x^2=6-2x-3 \\ x^2+2x-3=0 \\ (x+3)(x-1)=0 \implies x=-3,1$ When $x=-3$, then we have: $y=3+3=6$ When $x=1$, then we have: $y=3-1=2$ Therefore, a solution set is $ \{ (-3, 6),(1,2) \}$
