Write the each equation in slope-intercept form y = mx + b.

                                   -----------------------> (Equation 1)

      -----------------------> (Equation 2)

Graph the equations and find the intersection point.

The graphs appear to intersect at (2, –2).

Check:

To check the solution by substituting the coordinates in each equation.

Substitute (2, –2) in equation 1.

The statement is true.

Substitute (2, –2) in equation 2.

                           (Product of two same signs is positive)

                                 (Multiply: )

                                       (Add: 6 + 2 = 8)

The statement is true.

The solution of the system is (2, –2).
