To solve the system of equations using the elimination method, we have the following equations:
1. \( y = x^2 + x - 42 \)
2. \( y = -x + 6 \)
First, we will set them equal to each other because both equations equal \( y \):
\[
x^2 + x - 42 = -x + 6
\]
Now, let's move all terms to one side of the equation:
\[
x^2 + x + x - 42 - 6 = 0
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
x^2 + 2x - 48 = 0
\]
Next, we can factor the quadratic:
\[
(x + 8)(x - 6) = 0
\]
Setting each factor to zero gives us the \( x \) values:
1. \( x + 8 = 0 \) → \( x = -8 \)
2. \( x - 6 = 0 \) → \( x = 6 \)
Now, we will find the corresponding \( y \) values for each \( x \).
**For \( x = -8 \):**
Substituting into the second equation \( y = -x + 6 \):
\[
y = -(-8) + 6 = 8 + 6 = 14
\]
So one solution is \( (-8, 14) \).
**For \( x = 6 \):**
Substituting into the second equation \( y = -x + 6 \):
\[
y = -6 + 6 = 0
\]
So the other solution is \( (6, 0) \).
Thus, the solutions to the system are:
\( (-8, 14) \) and \( (6, 0) \).
Therefore, the answer is:
**(−8,14) and (6,0)**.
