Answer

No Solutions

Work Step by Step

Given the system of equations: 1. $x^2 + 2y^2 = 2$ 2. $2x^2 - 3y = 15$ It asks to find all solutions. Double equation one, subtract equation two out of equation one $2x^2 + 4y^2 = 4$ -($2x^2 - 3y = 15$) $4y^2 + 3y = -11$ $4(y^2 + 3/4 y +9/64) = -11 + 9/16$ $(y + 3/8)^2 = -167/64$ No solutions here since the right side will be imaginary. Thus, no solutions for the system of equations
