Given a pair parallel lines cut by a transversal same interior angles are supplementary?

makkiz [27]

If 2 parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the alternate exterior angles are congruent. If 2 parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the same side interior angles are supplementary. A line that intersects 2 coplanar lines at 2 different points.

Please help solve this system of equations

stepan [7]

Make a substitution:

$\begin{cases}u=2x+y\\v=2x-y\end{cases}$

Then the system becomes

$\begin{cases}\dfrac{2\sqrt[3]{u}}{u-v}+\dfrac{2\sqrt[3]{u}}{u+v}=\dfrac{81}{182}\\\\\dfrac{2\sqrt[3]{v}}{u-v}-\dfrac{2\sqrt[3]{v}}{u+v}=\dfrac1{182}\end{cases}$

Simplifying the equations gives

$\begin{cases}\dfrac{4\sqrt[3]{u^4}}{u^2-v^2}=\dfrac{81}{182}\\\\\dfrac{4\sqrt[3]{v^4}}{u^2-v^2}=\dfrac1{182}\end{cases}$

which is to say,

$\dfrac{4\sqrt[3]{u^4}}{u^2-v^2}=\dfrac{81\times4\sqrt[3]{v^4}}{u^2-v^2}$

$\implies\sqrt[3]{\left(\dfrac uv\right)^4}=81$

$\implies\dfrac uv=\pm27$

$\implies u=\pm27v$

Substituting this into the new system gives

$\dfrac{4\sqrt[3]{v^4}}{(\pm27v)^2-v^2}=\dfrac1{182}\implies\dfrac1{v^2}=1\implies v=\pm1$

$\implies u=\pm27$

Then

$\begin{cases}x=\dfrac{u+v}4\\\\y=\dfrac{u-v}2}\end{cases}\implies x=\pm7,y=\pm13$

(meaning two solutions are (7, 13) and (-7, -13))
