Given that:


\begin{gathered} 2x^2=5+y \\ 4y=-20+8x^2 \end{gathered}

From the first equation,


y=5-2x^2

Substitute the obtained value of y into the second equation.


\begin{gathered} 4(5-2x^2)=-20+8x^2 \\ 20-8x^2=-20+8x^2 \end{gathered}

So, it has infintely many solutions.

Solutions are of the form:


(x,y)=(x,5-2x^2

where x is any real number.
