I tried math way. It great for getting the answer but it doesn't give me an explanation of how it got the answer. I need to show work. :/

y=x^2 + 3   y=x+5
x^2 + 3 = x + 5
x^2 - x - 2 = 0
now factor:
What 2 numbers add to -1 and multiply to -2?

alexishope47 · Answer

1 and -2?

alexishope47 · Answer

So the solutions to the system are x= 1 and x= -2?

study312 · Answer

well if he said which numbers are added together to get -1 then its -3 + 2 = -1 and 1 x -2 = -2. THIS IS A GUESS

alexishope47 · Answer

Well, 1+(-2) is -1 and 1•-2 is -2.

tacotime · Answer

No @alexishope47 you were right. The answers are x = 1 and x = -2. idk if you know about factoring, but you usually only get two solutions.
