x^2+9y^2=9
-2x+1y=-3 --> y = 2x-3
---------
Sub for y in the 1st eqn
x^2+9y^2=9

Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE quadratic equation (work shown, graph etc)
Quadratic equation (in our case ) has the following solutons:



For these solutions to exist, the discriminant should not be a negative number.

First, we need to compute the discriminant : .

Discriminant d=1008 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions: .




Quadratic expression can be factored:

Again, the answer is: 1.88850021260507, 1.03041870631385. Here's your graph:

=============
It might be called "elimination" since the y terms were eliminated by the substitution.
