Answer

$(8,4\pm2\sqrt{10})$

Work Step by Step

Adding the first and the second equation we get: $2x^2-16x=0\\2x(x-8)=0$ Thus $x=0$ or $x=8$ Plugging this into the second equation we get: if $x=0$: $0-y^2-0+8y=24\\y^2-8y+24=0$ This has a negative discriminant, thus there is no solution here. if $x=8$: $64-y^2-64+8y=-24\\y^2-8y-24=0$ Using the quadratic formula $y=4\pm2\sqrt{10}$ Thus the solutions are: $(8,4\pm2\sqrt{10})$
