Even if you can't solve the equations, you can always plug in the choices to see which works. Algebraically, we need
x^2 + 3x - 4 = 2x + 2
x^2 + x - 6 = 0
(x+3)(x-2) = 0
x = -3 or 2
y = 2x+2 = -4 or 6
so, (b)
x^2 + 3x - 4 = 2x + 2
x^2 + x - 6 = 0
(x+3)(x-2) = 0
x = -3 or 2
y = 2x+2 = -4 or 6
so, (b)
