Answer

The solution is $(1,1)$.

Work Step by Step

The given system is $y=2x-1$ ...... (1) $y=x^2$ ...... (2) Subtract equation (1) from equation (2). $\Rightarrow y-y=x^2-(2x-1)$ $\Rightarrow y-y=x^2-2x+1$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 0=x^2-2x+1$ Write the right terms as square of the polynomial. $\Rightarrow 0=(x-1)^2$ Take square root on each side. $\Rightarrow 0=x-1$ Solve for $x$. $\Rightarrow x=1$ Substitute $1$ for $x$ in equation (1). $\Rightarrow y=2(1)-1$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow y=2-1$ $\Rightarrow y=1$ Hence, the solution is $(1,1)$.
