Very carefully, and with great attention to detail.

Since you have two expressions that are both equal to , set them equal to each other.



A little algebra:



Factor and solve the quadratic for the two values of then substitute each into either of the original equations to derive the corresponding value of . Express your answer as a set of ordered pairs.
