Y^2=X^2-32 NOW SUBSTITUTE (X^2-32) FOR Y^2 IN THE SECOND EQUATION & SOLVE FOR X
X^2+(X^2-32)=40
X^2+X^2=40+32
2X^2=72
X^2=72/2
X^2=36
X=6 ANSWER.
Y*2=6*6-32
Y^2=36-32
Y^2=4
Y=2 ANSWER.
PROOF
6^2+2^2=40
36+4=40
40=40

solve the sytem algebraically
y^2 = x^2 - 32
x^2 + y^2 = 40
Substitute x^2-32 in for y^2 in the second equation.

x=-6 or x=6
Let x=-6 or x=6 (They will both have the same outcome because x is squared.) in the first equation and solve for y.

y=-2 or y=2
Therefore two solutions are (-6,-2) and (-6,2)

y=-2 or y=2
Therefore two solutions are (6,-2) and (6,2)
There are four solutions: (-6,-2), (-6,2), (6,-2), and (6,2)
It helps to look at the graph.
Graphically it looks like this:
