Graph both equations of eah system on the same coordinate axes. Use elimination of variables to find all pts of intersection.
y = x^2 + 5x + 6
y = x + 11
-------------------------
Subtract the 2nd equation from the 1st to solve for "x":
0 = x^2 + 4x - 5
----
Factor:
(x+5)(x-1) = 0
x = -5 or x = 1
---------------------------
If x= -5 then y = -5+11 = 6: point of intersection (-5,6)
---
If x = 1 then y = 1+11 = 12; point of intersection (1,12)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
