\[x^2 + 5y^2 =2\]
\[x^2 - 5y^2 =14\]

im thinking the answer is no solution
OpenStudy (anonymous):
but im not sure
OpenStudy (e.mccormick):
Hmm..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
cause when i solve for y in the first equation im getting sqroot -12/10

Well, the first is an elipse, so you are looking for intersections between an ellipse and a hyperbola.

ya
OpenStudy (anonymous):
im using the substitution method

Treating it as a matrix.

If you add the two equations you will see that:\[2x^2=16\Longrightarrow x^2=8.\]But if you substitute that back into either of the two equations, you get:\[x^2+5y^2=2\Longrightarrow 8+5y^2=2\Longrightarrow 5y^2=-6\]which has no real solutions. So you are correct in saying there are no real solutions.
