Question 595883: Solve simultaneously I dont understand..\
y=x^2-4x-2
y=x-2

If y=x^2-4x-2 and y = x-2, then we can say

x - 2 = x^2-4x-2

This is because the two are both simultaneously equal to y. So they must be equal to each other.

From here, solve for x

or

or

-------------------------------------------------------
If x = 0, then y = x-2 = 0-2 = -2

So if x = 0 then y = -2

So one ordered pair solution is (0, -2)

-------------------------------------------------------
If x = 5, then y = x-2 = 5-2 = 3

So when x = 5, the value of y is y = 3

So another ordered pair solution is (5, 3)
