Answer

$(-\sqrt6, 6)$

Work Step by Step

Given the system of equations: 1. $x + \sqrt y = 0$ 2. $y^2 - 4x^2 = 12$ It asks to find all solutions. Substitute $x = -\sqrt y$ $y^2 - -4(-\sqrt y)^2= 12$ $y^2 - 4y - 12 = 0$ $(y - 6) (y + 2) = 0$ y = 6, -2 Substitute the values into the equation $x + \sqrt 6 = 0$ $x = -\sqrt 6$ $x + \sqrt -2 = 0$ Not possible All solutions: $(-\sqrt6, 6)$
