If: 2x+y = 1 then y = 1-2x

If: x^2 -xy -y^2 = -11 then x^2 -x(1-2x) -(1-2x)^2 -11 = 0

Multiplying out the brackets: x^2 -x+2x^2 -1+4x -4x^2+11 = 0

Collecting like terms: -x^2+3x+10 = 0

Solving the above quadratic equation: x = 5 or x = -2

Solutions by substitution: when x = 5 then y = -9 and when x = -2 then y = 5
