system of equations ---> EQN 1, and ----> EQN 2:
EQN 1:
If you look on the graph below, we find closest,so


EQN 2:
f(y)=0: --->

f(x)=0:
SEE GRAPH:
--- See points of intersection-->(3,0) & (1.25,-3.418)
Thank you,

Looks like (3,0) may be an intersection point.
Try it.
y=2x-6
0=2(3)-6
0=0
True.
y=x^4-3x^3
0=3^4-3(3^3)
0=0
True
(3,0) is a solution.

Can't find the second solution exactly by graphing.
Iteration is required.
x=1.25 is a good start point.
Iteration leads to x=1.259922 with corresponding y=-3.48016.
