Problem solving with algebra and linear equations help!!

The linear path of a comet is x-2y=4. The orbit of a planet around a star is represented by the equation x2+y2=25. The planet orbits the star at a distance of 450 million kilometres. The star is located at point (0,0). A satellite orbiting the star is represented by the equation 3x2+10y2=150. The comet, planet and satellite all orbit the sun in the same plane. At what distances from the star will the comet intersect with the orbit of the planet and satellite?

I have graphed the three equations (have you?). The three equations do not have a common solution.
