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

Solution 2 (Coordinate Geometry)

\[(x-3)^2 + (y-4)^2 = h + 25\] \[(x-5)^2 + (y+2)^2 = k + 29\] distance between 2 circle centers is \[d^2 = (5-3)^2 + (4 - (-2)) ^2 = 40\] \[\sqrt{h+25} + \sqrt{k+29}   = 2*\sqrt{10}\] \[h + k + 54 = (h + 25) + (k + 29) =\sqrt{(h + 25)}^2 + \sqrt{(k + 29)}^2 \geq \frac{\left(\sqrt{h + 25} + \sqrt{k + 29}\right)^2}{2} = \geq \frac{\left(2\sqrt{10}\right)^2}{2} = 20.\] min( h + k ) = $\boxed{C -34}$.
