    These are all the possible answers i know from experience.

    2x + 2y = 7

    x^2 - 4y^2 = 8

    2x = - 2y + 7

    x = - y + 7/2

    (-y + 7/2) ^2 - 4y^2 = 8

    y^2 - 7y + 49/4 - 4y^2 = 8

    0 = 3y^2 + 7y + 8 - 49/4

    0 = 12y^2 + 28y + 32 - 49

    0 = 12y^2 + 28y - 17

    y = (-b ± √ (b^2 - 4ac)) / (2a)

    y = (-28 ± √ (28^2 - 4 (12) (-17))) / (2 (12))

    Dividing by 2 is like dividing by √ (4):

    y = (-14 ± √ (7*28 + (12) (17))) / (2*6)

    y = (-7 ± √ (7*7 + (3) (17))) / 6

    y = (-7 ± 10) / 6 = 1/2 or - 17/6

    x = - y + 7/2 = 3 or 19/3

    Solutions are (3,1/2) and (19/3,-17/6)
