Answer:
(x, y) = (5, -2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Equating expressions for y, we have ...
x^2 -9x +18 = x -7
x^2 -10x +25 = 0 . . . . . add 7-x to both sides
(x -5)^2 = 0 . . . . . . . . factor
The value of x that makes the factor(s) zero is x=5. The corresponding value of y is ...
y = x -7 = 5 -7 = -2
The solution is (x, y) = (5, -2).
