(1,2),(152,75)

Explanation:

3+x+xy=0(1)

2x+5y=8(2)

rearrange equation (2) in terms of x or y

x=12(85y)=452y(3)

substitute x=452y in (1)

3+452y+4y52y2=0

52y2+32y+7=0

multiply through by 2

5y23y14=0

5y210y+7y14=0 split middle term

factorise by grouping

5y(y2)+7(y2)=0

factor out (y2)

(y2)(5y+7)=0

equate each factor to zero and solve for y

y2=0y=2

5y+7=0y=75

substitute these values into equation (3)
for corresponding values of x

y=2x=45=1

y=75x=4+72=152

points of intersection (1,2) and (152,75)
graph{(3+x+xy)(y+2/5x-8/5)((x+1)^2+(y-2)^2-0.04)((x-15/2)^2+(y+7/5)^2-0.04)=0 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
