If: 3x -5y = 16 then y = 0.6x -3.2

If: xy = 7 then x(0.6x -3.2) -7 = 0

Removing brackets: 0.6x^2 -3.2x -7 = 0

Dividing all terms by 0.6: x^2 -16/3x -35/3 = 0

Completing the square: (x -8/3)^2 -64/9 -35/3 = 0 => (x -8/3)^2 = 169/9

Square root both sides: x -8/3 = -13/3 or +13/3

Add 8/3 to both sides: x = -5/3 or x = 7

Solutions by substitution are: x = -5/3, y = -21/5 and x = 7, y = 1

How many solutions do the following equations have in common 8y equals -75x - 22 and 75x equals -8y plus 22?

I notice that the ratio of the y-coefficient to the x-coefficient is the same in both equations. I think that's enough to tell me that their graphs are parallel. So they don't intersect, and viewed as a pair of simultaneous equations, they have no solution.
