The two equations are:

1) 3xy - y² = 8

2) x - 2y = 1

Make x the subject of (2):

x - 2y = 1 → x = 2y + 1

substitute for x in (1) and solve for y:

3xy - y² = 8

→ 3(2y + 1)y - y² = 8

→ 6y + 3y - y² - 8 = 0

→ 5y + 3y - 8 = 0

→ (5y + 8)(y - 1) = 0

→ 5y + 8 = 0 → y = -8/5

or y - 1 = 0 → y = 1

and substitute into 2 to find the corresponding x:

y = -8/5 → x = 2(-8/5) + 1 = -11/5

y = 1 → x = 2(1) + 1 = 3

→ the solutions are the ordered pairs (-11/5, -8/5) {or (-2.2, -1.6)} and (3, 1)
