3x+2y=8
x^2+y^2=8
--------------
3x+2y=8 ---> y = -(3/2)x + 4
y^2 = (9x^2/4) - 12x + 16
---
x^2+y^2=8
Sub for y^2
x^2 + (9x^2/4) - 12x + 16 = 8
4x^2 + 9x^2 - 48x + 32 = 0
13x^2 - 48x + 32 = 0
Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE quadratic equation (work shown, graph etc)
Quadratic equation (in our case ) has the following solutons:



For these solutions to exist, the discriminant should not be a negative number.

First, we need to compute the discriminant : .

Discriminant d=640 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions: .




Quadratic expression can be factored:

Again, the answer is: 2.81916235697489, 0.873145335332806. Here's your graph:

==================
Sub for x in 3x+2y=8 and find y.
