Answer

$(3,6),(1,-2)$

Work Step by Step

$y = x^{2} - 3$ Equation $(1)$ $4x-y = 6$ Equation $(2)$ From Equation $(2),$ $4x-y = 6$ $4x-6 = y$ $y = 4x - 6$ Equation $(3)$ From Equation $(1)$ and Equation $(3)$ $x^{2} - 3 = 4x-6$ $x^{2} - 3 -4x+6 = 0$ $x^{2} -4x+3 = 0$ By factoring, $(x-3)(x-1)=0$ $x=3$ or $x=1$ Substitute $ x$ values in Equation $(1)$ Let $x = 3$ $y = x^{2} - 3$ $y = 3^{2} - 3$ $y = 9 - 3$ $y = 6$ Let $x = 1$ $y = x^{2} - 3$ $y = 1^{2} - 3$ $y = 1 - 3$ $y = -2$ $(3,6),(1,-2)$ satisfy the given equations. So, solutions are $(3,6),(1,-2)$
