Step 1separate out the t term      x    =    t    -    2    ⇒    t    =    x    +    2  sub that into the other equation      y    =    -          t      2        +    t    +    1        =    -                  (        x        +        2        )            2        +          (      x      +      2      )        +    1        =    -          (              x        2            +      4      x      +      4      )        +    x    +    3  Step 2      ⇒    y    =    -          x      2        -    3    x    -    1
