    x = ±3

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Put both equations equal to each other.

    2x + 1 = x^2 - 8

    Cancel 2x on both sides.

    1 = x^2 - 8

    Add 8 to both sides.

    1 + 8 = x^2

    Simplify 1 + 8 to 9.

    9 = x^2

    Take the square root of both sides.

    ±√9 = x

    ±3=x

    Simplify.

    x = ±3
