Solution 1 (Easy and Fast)
Adding up the first and second statement, we get h+k with:
= 2x^2 + 2y^2 - 16x - 4y
= 2(x^2 - 8x) + 2(y^2 - 2y)
= 2(x^2 - 8x + 16) - (2)(16) + 2(y^2 - 2y + 1) - (2)(1)
= 2(x - 4)^2 + 2(y - 1)^2 - 34
All squared values must be greater or equal to 0. As we are aiming for the minimum value, we let the 2 squared terms be 0.
This leads to (h+k)min = 0 + 0 - 34 = (C) -34
