Question 1097333: I have a problem with two equations inside brackets. The first equation is x^2+y^2=5. The second one is y-2x=2. I'm not sure about my solution, though. This is what I ended up with. (-4 plus or minus sqrt21/5, 2 plus or minus 2*sqrt21/5). Am I correct? Thank you for your time.

substitute for x and simplify.
