Answer

$(-5,25),(2,4)$

Work Step by Step

$y= x^{2}$ Equation $(1)$ $3x+y=10$ Equation $(2)$ Substitute $y=x^{2}$ in Equation $(2)$ $3x+y=10$ $3x+x^{2}=10$ $x^{2}+3x-10=0$ By factoring, $(x+5)(x-2)=0$ $x = -5$ or $x=2$ Substitute $ x$ values in Equation $(1)$ Let $x = -5$ $y= x^{2}$ $y = (-5)^{2}$ $y = 25$ Let $x =2$ $y= x^{2}$ $y = (2)^{2}$ $y = 4$ $(-5,25),(2,4)$ satisfy both the given equations. So, solutions are $(-5,25),(2,4)$
