Strong proficiency in elementary and advanced mathematics
In the first set of equations x-2y=0 and x2 +y2 =125 using the first equation x2 -4y2 =0 or x2 =4y2 substitute this into the second equation to get 4y2 + y2 =125 then 5y2 =125 and y2 =25 giving y =±5. Going back to second equation x2 25 = 125 and x2 = 100 giving x=± 10.
In the second set of equations 4y=x and x2 -y2= 60 again square the first equation to get 16y2=x2 and substitute this into the second equation to get 16y2 -y2 = 60 giving 15y2= 60 or y2= 4 and hence y=±2. Substitute this back in to the second equation to get x2- 4 = 60 and x2 =64 so x= ±8
