Answer

The system of equations has no real solutions.

Steps

Step 1 :Set the two equations equal to each other: 0.6x4.3=(x5)21.

Step 2 :Solve for x to find the intersection points. The solutions are x=5.30.458257569495584i and x=5.3+0.458257569495584i.

Step 3 :Substitute the x-values into either of the original equations to find the corresponding y-values. The solutions are y=1.120.27495454169735i and y=1.12+0.27495454169735i.

Step 4 :The solutions to the system of equations are complex numbers, which means that the graphs of the two functions do not intersect at any real points.

Step 5 :The system of equations has no real solutions.
