y%5E2-2y-8x-16=0 is the equation of a parabola and x%5E2%2B4y%5E2-8y=4 is the equation of an ellipse. "Solve" is ambiguous. It could mean different things:
  • Solve this system of equations to find the points of intersection, if any.
  • Solve for the vertices, foci, center, etc. of the parabola and the ellipse.
  • Other
