That looks to me like the hard way to do it! From −y2+3xy=0, instead of using the quadratic formula, factor:
y(3x- y)= 0 which gives y= 0 and y= 3x as you get.
If y= 0, then the first equation becomes x2=2 so that x=±2, So one solution is x=2, y= 0 and another is x=−2, y= 0.
If y= 3, then the first equation becomes x2−92+3x2=−5x2=2. As you say, that has no (real) solution. So there is no solution (in the real numbers) for y= 3. The only solutions to the system are the two given above.
