Answer

$(2,1),(-2,1),(2,-1),(-2,-1)$

Work Step by Step

$x^{2}-3y^{2}=1$ Equation $(1)$ $4x^{2}+5y^{2}=21$ Equation $(2)$ Multiply Equation $(1)$ by $-4$ and add with Equation $(2)$ $-4(x^{2}-3y^{2})+4x^{2}+5y^{2}=-4(1)+21$ $-4x^{2}+12y^{2}+4x^{2}+5y^{2}=-4+21$ $17y^{2}=17$ $y^{2}=1$ $y=±1$ $y=1$ or $y=-1$ Substitute $y$ values in Equation $(1)$ to get corresponding $x$ values. Let $y=1$ $x^{2}-3y^{2}=1$ $x^{2}-3(1)^{2}=1$ $x^{2}-3=1$ $x^{2}=1+3$ $x^{2}=4$ $x=±2$ Let $y=-1$ $x^{2}-3y^{2}=1$ $x^{2}-3(-1)^{2}=1$ $x^{2}-3=1$ $x^{2}=1+3$ $x^{2}=4$ $x=±2$ $(2,1),(-2,1),(2,-1),(-2,-1)$ satisfy given equations. Solution set: $\{(2,1),(-2,1),(2,-1),(-2,-1)\}$
