Answer:

D. no real answer

Explanation:

8x-y=10 then y=8x-10


y = {x}^(2) + 12x + 30 = 8x - 10


{x}^(2) + 4x + 40 = 0

it's a grade 2 equation, it has no real answer

because


{4}^(2) - 4(1)(40) = - 144 < 0

Answer:

D. No real solutions

Explanation:

Any of the usual methods of finding solutions to the system of equations will show there are none,

__

graphing

The graphs of the two equations do not intersect. This means any of the answer choices that identifies specific solution points must be incorrect. There are no real solutions.

__

check the answers

You can check to see if any of the proposed solution points satisfy the equations.

A: (x, y) = (-4, -2) ⇒ 8(-4) -(-2) = -30 ≠ 10 . . . not a solution

B: (x, y) = (-2, -4) ⇒ 8(-2) -(-4) = -12 ≠ 10 . . . not a solution

C: same (x, y) as B.

So, none of these answer choices describes a solution to the system of equations. We conclude there are ...

No real solutions

__

solve the system

Using the first equation, you can substitute for y in the second equation:

8x -(x² +12x +30) = 10

x² +4x +40 = 0 . . . . . . . put in standard form

(x +2)² +36 = 0 . . . . . . . write in vertex form

There are no real values of x that will make (x+2)² be negative, so there are no real solutions.
