  4. How many solutions does y = x² and y = ___ have?
  5. Solve x + y = ___ and xy = ___. Give the pair where x < y.

Systems with a quadratic equation

For a system containing a linear and a quadratic equation, express one variable from the linear equation and substitute it into the quadratic equation. This reduces the system to one quadratic equation.

Geometric meaning

Solutions are intersection points of the graphs, so there may be zero, one or two. For each value of one variable, calculate its corresponding second value separately. Check every ordered pair in both original equations and do not mix values belonging to different pairs.
