. We're sorry about the hassle.
Here we go. Let's mark the first equation as ( 1 ) and the other as ( 2 ) . We have:
( 1 ) ⇔ x 2 − x y − 2 y 2 − ( x + y ) = 0
⇔ ( x + y ) ( x − 2 y ) − ( x + y ) = 0
⇔ ( x + y ) ( x − 2 y − 1 ) = 0
⇔ x − 2 y − 1 = 0 (due to x + y > 0 )
⇔ x = 2 y + 1 .
Subtitute x = 2 y + 1 back in ( 2 ) we got:
y 2 y + 2 y = 2 y + 2
⇔ ( y + 1 ) ( 2 y − 2 ) = 0
⇔ 2 y − 2 = 0 (due to y ≥ 0 ⇒ y + 1 > 0 )
⇔ 2 y = 4
⇔ y = 2
⇒ x = 5 .
Solution ends.
