$((x=6,y=-8),(x=14,y=-8))$

Calling $x2=x^2$ and $y2=y^2$ we have the system

${ (x2 - 4 y2 - 20 x - 64 y - 172 = 0), (4 x2 + y2 - 80 x + 16 y + 400 = 0) :}$

we obtain

$((x2 = 4 (5 x-21)), (y2 = -(64 +16 y)))$

Solving now

$x^2-20 x+84 = 0$ and
$y^2+16 y +64 = 0$

we obtain

$((x=6),(x=14))$

and a double root

$y = -8$
The solutions are

$((x=6,y=-8),(x=14,y=-8))$
