To solve the system of equations given by:
- \( x + y = 9 \)
- \( y^2 + x = 29 \)
we can start by expressing \( x \) in terms of \( y \) from the first equation:
\[ x = 9 - y \]
Now, we substitute this expression for \( x \) into the second equation:
\[ y^2 + (9 - y) = 29 \]
Simplifying this, we get:
\[ y^2 + 9 - y = 29 \]
Rearranging the equation gives us:
\[ y^2 - y + 9 - 29 = 0 \]
This simplifies to:
\[ y^2 - y - 20 = 0 \]
Next, we can factor the quadratic equation:
\[ (y - 5)(y + 4) = 0 \]
From this, we can find the values of \( y \):
\[ y - 5 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad y = 5 \]
\[ y + 4 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad y = -4 \]
Now, we will find the corresponding values of \( x \) for both \( y \) values using the equation \( x = 9 - y \).
- For \( y = 5 \):
\[ x = 9 - 5 = 4 \]
- For \( y = -4 \):
\[ x = 9 - (-4) = 9 + 4 = 13 \]
Thus, the solutions of the system of equations are:
- \( (x, y) = (4, 5) \)
- \( (x, y) = (13, -4) \)
So the final answer is:
\[ (4, 5) \quad \text{and} \quad (13, -4) \]
