Answer

$\{(1,2),(3,4)\}$

Work Step by Step

We are given the system of equations: $\begin{cases} 2y^2-3x^2=5\\ y-x=1 \end{cases}$ Substitute $y=x+1$ from the second equation into the first: $2(x+1)^2-3x^2=5$ $2(x^2+2x+1)-3x^2=5$ $2x^2+4x+2-3x^2-5=0$ $-x^2+4x-3=0$ $x^2-4x+3=0$ Solve the equation: $x=\dfrac{4\pm\sqrt{(-4)^2-4(1)(3)}}{2(1)}=\dfrac{4\pm 2}{2}$ $x_1=\dfrac{4-2}{2}=1$ $x_2=\dfrac{4+2}{2}=3$ Determine $y$: $x_1=1\Rightarrow y_1=1+1=2$ $x_2=3\Rightarrow y_2=3+1=4$ The solution set is: $\{(1,2),(3,4)\}$
