STEP 1

What is this asking? We need to find the values of xx and yy that make both equations true at the same time! Watch out! Don't forget that when we substitute, we need to be super careful with our signs and make sure we solve for *both* xx and yy!

STEP 2

1. Prep the second equation
2. Substitute and solve for xx
3. Find the matching yy values

STEP 3

Let's get yy by itself in the second equation, 16=3xy16 = 3x - y, so it's ready for substitution.
We can add yy to both sides to get 16+y=3x16 + y = 3x.
Then, subtract 16 from both sides to get y=3x16y = 3x - 16.
Perfect!

STEP 4

Now, let's **substitute** this expression for yy into the first equation: y=x2+3x41y = x^2 + 3x - 41 becomes (3x16)=x2+3x41(3x - 16) = x^2 + 3x - 41.

STEP 5

We want to solve for xx, so let's get everything on one side of the equation.
Subtract 3x3x from both sides: 16=x241-16 = x^2 - 41.
Now, add 41 to both sides to get x2=25x^2 = 25.
Taking the square root of both sides gives us x=5x = 5 and x=5x = -5.
We have **two** solutions for xx!

STEP 6

Let's plug x=5x = 5 back into the equation y=3x16y = 3x - 16.
So, y=3516y = 3 \cdot 5 - 16, which simplifies to y=1516=1y = 15 - 16 = -1.
Our first solution point is (5,1)(5, -1).

STEP 7

Now, let's plug x=5x = -5 into y=3x16y = 3x - 16.
This gives us y=3(5)16y = 3 \cdot (-5) - 16, which simplifies to y=1516=31y = -15 - 16 = -31.
Our second solution point is (5,31)(-5, -31).

STEP 8

The solutions to the system of equations are (5,1)(5, -1) and (5,31)(-5, -31)!
