To solve the system of equations using the elimination method, we have:

1. \( y = x^2 + 10 \)
2. \( y = -7x - 2 \)

Since both equations equal \( y \), we can set them equal to each other:

\[
x^2 + 10 = -7x - 2
\]

Now, rearranging the equation to set it to zero:

\[
x^2 + 7x + 12 = 0
\]

Next, we can factor the quadratic equation:

\[
(x + 3)(x + 4) = 0
\]

Setting each factor to zero gives us the solutions for \( x \):

1. \( x + 3 = 0 \) ⟹ \( x = -3 \)
2. \( x + 4 = 0 \) ⟹ \( x = -4 \)

Now, we will substitute these \( x \) values back into one of the original equations to find the corresponding \( y \) values. We can use \( y = -7x - 2 \).

**For \( x = -3 \):**

\[
y = -7(-3) - 2 = 21 - 2 = 19
\]
So one solution is \( (-3, 19) \).

**For \( x = -4 \):**

\[
y = -7(-4) - 2 = 28 - 2 = 26
\]
So the other solution is \( (-4, 26) \).

Thus, the solutions to the system are:

\[
(-3, 19) \text{ and } (-4, 26)
\]

The correct response is:

**(−3,19) and (−4,26)**.
