((x = -9/2, y = -3 sqrt[21]/2), (x = -9/2, y = 3 sqrt[21]/2), (x = 3, y = -6), (x = 3, y = 6))

Explanation:

Considering

{(-3x^2+y^2=3x),(x^2-y^2=-27):}

Adding term to term the two equations we get

-2x^2=3x-27. Now solving for x

x =-9/2 and x = 3. Now using the second equation

(-9/2)^2-y^2=-27->y = pm3 sqrt[21]/2

3^2-y^2=-27->y = pm 6

so the solutions are:

((x = -9/2, y = -3 sqrt[21]/2), (x = -9/2, y = 3 sqrt[21]/2), (x = 3, y = -6), (x = 3, y = 6))
