Answer

$(-2,-1)$, $(-2, 1)$, $(2,-1)$, $(2,1)$

Work Step by Step

Re-arrange the given equations to get $4x^2-2y^2=14$ Adding the equations, we get $(3x^2+2y^2)^2 +(4x^2-2y^2)=14+14$ $ \implies 7x^2=28$ This gives: $ x^2 =4 \implies x=2,-2$ when $ x^2 =4 \implies 2(4)-y^2=7$ gives: $y^2=1 \implies y=1,-1$ Hence, our answers are: $(-2,-1)$, $(-2, 1)$, $(2,-1)$, $(2,1)$
