Answer

(2,4) and (-1,1)

Work Step by Step

$y=x+2$, and $y=x^2$, which means $x+2=x^2$ Rearrange the equation: $x^2-x-2=0$ Factor: $(x-2)(x+1)=0$ The two solutions for $x$ are $x=2$, and $x=-1$ Use the first equation, $y=x+2$, to solve for y. When $x=2$: $y=2+2=4$ When $x=-1$: $y=2+(-1)=2-1=1$ Therefore the solutions are (2,4) and (-1,1).
