plug in for y 2x+2=x^2+3x-4 subtract 2x+2 from both sides 0=x^2+x-6

u got from there?

Basically use substitution. Since y is solved in the linear equation, plug it in for y. 2x + 2 = x^2 + 3x - 4 x^2 + x - 6 = 0 (x + 3)(x - 2) = 0 x = -3 or 2

@Calcmathlete I dont understand?

@cherrycool do u know FOIL?

You see, y is already solved for in y = 2x + 2. That same value of y is also in y= x^2 + 3x - 4. Since it's the same value, you can put 2x + 2 in for y in the quadratic equation. 2x + 2 = x^2 + 3x - 4 THen, like a quadratic, you set it equal to 0 by adding or subtracting the terms to the other side. 2x + 2 = x^2 + 3x - 4 - 2x + 2x + 2 = x^2 + 3x - 4 - 2x - 2 - 2x + 2x + 2 = x^2 + 3x - 4 - 2x - 2 0 = x^2 + x - 6. Now just solve for x.
