We will use substitution to solve the system. First we solve the "easier" of the two equations (the second equation) for to obtain
We substitute for in the first equation to find
This equation has only one variable, and we solve it by first clearing fractions. We multiply both sides by and then subtract to obtain
Then we factor the left side to get
and apply the zero-factor principle to find
We solve each of these equations to find
Finally, we substitute each of these values into to find the -components of each solution. The intersubsection points of the two graphs are and The graph of the system is shown below.
