The system has solutions (6, 312) and (-6, 312) and the correct option is C.

Here's how we can solve the system of equations and find the solutions:

1. Solve for y in the second equation:

Divide both sides of the equation 2y = 16x^2 + 48 by 2:

y = 8x^2 + 24

2. Substitute this expression for y in the first equation:

Replace y in 10x^2 - y = 48 with the expression we obtained:

10x^2 - (8x^2 + 24) = 48

Combine like terms:

2x^2 - 24 = 48

Add 24 to both sides:

2x^2 = 72

3. Solve for x:

Divide both sides by 2:

x^2 = 36

Take the square root of both sides:

x = +/-6

4. Substitute the values of x back into the equation y = 8x^2 + 24:

For x = 6:

y = 8(6)^2 + 24 = 312

For x = -6:

y = 8(-6)^2 + 24 = 312

Therefore, the solutions of the system are:

(x, y) = (6, 312) and (-6, 312)

This eliminates options A, B, and D, leaving only option C as the correct answer.

Question:

What are the solutions of the following system? { 10x^2-y=48 and 2y=16x^2+48

A) (2 sqrt3, 120) and (-2 sqrt3, 120)

B) (2 sqrt3, 120) and (-2 sqrt 3, -72)

C) (6, 312) and (-6, 312)

D) (6, 312) and (-6,-264)
