Answer by josgarithmetic(39616) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You can do this. Solve the linear equation for x or y, and substitute into the quadratic equation. You will find two solutions.

Another way: Solve the quadratic for x in terms of y. Substitute this into the linear equation and solve for the two possible y values. Find the corresponding x values.
