To solve the system of equations algebraically, we have the following two equations:
- \( y = x^2 - 2x - 43 \)
- \( y = 2x + 2 \)
Since both expressions are equal to \( y \), we can set them equal to each other:
\[ x^2 - 2x - 43 = 2x + 2 \]
Next, rearranging the equation gives us:
\[ x^2 - 2x - 43 - 2x - 2 = 0 \]
This simplifies to:
\[ x^2 - 4x - 45 = 0 \]
Now, to solve for \( x \), we can factor the quadratic equation:
\[ (x - 9)(x + 5) = 0 \]
Setting each factor equal to zero gives us the possible values for \( x \):
- \( x - 9 = 0 \) → \( x = 9 \)
- \( x + 5 = 0 \) → \( x = -5 \)
Now we can find the corresponding \( y \) values by substituting these \( x \) values back into either equation. We choose the second equation for simplicity:
For \( x = 9 \):
\[ y = 2(9) + 2 = 18 + 2 = 20 \]
For \( x = -5 \):
\[ y = 2(-5) + 2 = -10 + 2 = -8 \]
Thus, the solutions to the system of equations are:
- \( (9, 20) \)
- \( (-5, -8) \)
So the final answer is:
\[ (9, 20) \quad \text{and} \quad (-5, -8) \]
