Answer 1

To solve the linear-quadratic system using the elimination method, we have the following equations:

1. \( y = x^2 - 2x - 2 \)
2. \( y = 2x - 6 \)

To eliminate \( y \), we set the two expressions for \( y \) equal to each other:

\[
x^2 - 2x - 2 = 2x - 6
\]

Now, let's rearrange and combine like terms:

\[
x^2 - 2x - 2 - 2x + 6 = 0
\]
\[
x^2 - 4x + 4 = 0
\]

Next, we can factor this equation:

\[
(x - 2)^2 = 0
\]

This gives us:

\[
x - 2 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = 2
\]

Now that we have \( x = 2 \), we will substitute this value back into either original equation to find \( y \). We'll use the second equation:

\[
y = 2(2) - 6 = 4 - 6 = -2
\]

So, we have one solution:

\[
(2, -2)
\]

Next, we need to check if there are any other solutions. However, since the quadratic \( (x - 2)^2 = 0 \) has a double root at \( x = 2 \), we only have this one solution for \( x \), which gives us:

1 solution: \( (2, -2) \)

Thus, the solution to the system is:

\[
(2, -2)
\]

So the correct response is:

**(2, −2)**.
