Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
First, let's solve the second equation for y in terms of x:

x−y=−4y=x+4\begin{align*}x - y &= -4 \\y &= x + 4\end{align*}xyy=4=x+4

We can substitute this expression for y into the first equation:

x2+y2=16x2+(x+4)2=16x2+x2+8x+16=162x2+8x=02x(x+4)=0\begin{align*}x^2 + y^2 &= 16 \\x^2 + (x + 4)^2 &= 16 \\x^2 + x^2 + 8x + 16 &= 16 \\2x^2 + 8x &= 0\\2x(x+4)&=0\end{align*}x2+y2x2+(x+4)2x2+x2+8x+162x2+8x2x(x+4)=16=16=16=0=0

Solving for x, we get $x=0$ or $x=-4$.

If $x=0$, then $y=4$ or $y=-4$. So one solution is $(0,4)$ and the other is $(0,-4)$.

If $x=-4$, then $y=0$ by the second equation.

Therefore, the system has two solutions: $(0,4)$ and $(-4,0)$. The graph of the two equations is shown below:
