1. **State the problem:** Solve the simultaneous equations:
$$y = 2 - x$$
$$y = x^2 + 2x + 2$$
2. **Set the equations equal:** Since both equal $y$, set them equal to each other:
$$2 - x = x^2 + 2x + 2$$
3. **Rearrange to form a quadratic equation:** Move all terms to one side:
$$0 = x^2 + 2x + 2 - 2 + x$$
$$0 = x^2 + 3x$$
4. **Simplify:**
$$x^2 + 3x = 0$$
5. **Factor the quadratic:**
$$x(x + 3) = 0$$
6. **Solve for $x$:**
$$x = 0 \quad \text{or} \quad x = -3$$
7. **Find corresponding $y$ values:**
- For $x=0$:
$$y = 2 - 0 = 2$$
- For $x=-3$:
$$y = 2 - (-3) = 2 + 3 = 5$$
8. **Final solutions:**
$$(x, y) = (0, 2) \quad \text{and} \quad (-3, 5)$$
