Answer

$(-1 + \sqrt 3, 1 +\sqrt3)$, $(-1 - \sqrt 3, 1 - \sqrt3)$

Work Step by Step

$x^{2} + y^{2} = 8$ $y = x+2$ Substitute x+2 for y $x^{2} + (x+2)^{2} = 8$ $2x^{2} + 4x + 4 = 8$ $2x^{2} + 4x = 4 $ $2 (x^{2} + 2x + 1) = 6$ $ (x+1)^{2} = 3$ $(x+1) = +/- \sqrt 3$ Thus $x = -1 +/- \sqrt 3$ So the solutions are $(-1 + \sqrt 3, 1 +\sqrt3)$, $(-1 - \sqrt 3, 1 - \sqrt3)$
