Hi there!

$\large\boxed{\frac{1}{5}, \frac{21}{5}}$

In order to set each equation equal to each other, we must have them both equal the same variable.

Rearrange the top equation to make it equal to y:

x - y = -4

Add 4 to both sides and add y to both sides:

x + 4 = y

Now, we can set both equations equal to each other:

x + 4 = 5(x + 1)² - 3

Begin solving by expanding the square binomial:

x + 4 = 5(x² + 2x + 1) - 3

Simplify:

x + 4 = 5x² + 10x + 5 - 3

x + 4 = 5x² + 10x + 2

Bring all terms to one side:

0 = 5x² + 9x - 2

Factor:

0 = (5x - 1)(x + 2)

Set the other factor equal to 0:

5x - 1 = 0

5x = 1

x = 1/5

Plug in this value of x into an original equation:

1/5 - y = -4

1/5 + 4 = y

1/5 + 20/5 = y

y = 21/5
