Start with the given system






Set the two equations equal to one another



Subtract 12x from both sides. Add 19 to both sides.



Combine like terms


Factor the left side (note: if you need help with factoring, check out this solver)



Now set each factor equal to zero:
or

or Now solve for x in each case


So our x values are

or



Start with the first equation

Plug in

Simplify


So the first ordered pair is (4,29)



-------------


Start with the first equation

Plug in

Simplify


So the second ordered pair is (3,17)
