Two equations representing a system of linear equations to solve.

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Solve the first equation for x: x = y + 2.
Substitute x = y + 2 into the second equation: y^2 = 4(y + 2) + 4.
Simplify the equation: y^2 = 4y + 8 + 4.
Rearrange the equation to form a quadratic equation: y^2 - 4y - 12 = 0.
Solve the quadratic equation for y using the quadratic formula or factoring.
