Answer 1

To solve the system of equations using the elimination method, we start with the two equations:

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

We can set these two equations equal to each other since they both equal \( y \):

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

Next, we will rearrange this equation to bring all terms to one side:

\[
x^2 + 7x + 10 + 2 = 0
\]

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

Now we will factor the quadratic equation:

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

Set each factor equal to zero:

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

Now we will find the corresponding \( y \) values for each \( x \) value by substituting back into either of the original equations. We will use the second equation \( y = -7x - 2 \).

1. For \( x = -3 \):
\[
y = -7(-3) - 2 = 21 - 2 = 19
\]
This gives the point (-3, 19).

2. For \( x = -4 \):
\[
y = -7(-4) - 2 = 28 - 2 = 26
\]
This gives the point (-4, 26).

Thus, the solutions to the system are:

- \((-3, 19)\)
- \((-4, 26)\)

So the answer is:

\((-3, 19)\) and \((-4, 26)\).
