x^{2}-3y^{2}=3
Consider the first equation. Multiply both sides of the equation by 3.
x-my=y
Consider the second equation. Subtract my from both sides.
x-my-y=0
Subtract y from both sides.
x+\left(-m-1\right)y=0
Combine all terms containing x,y.
x+\left(-m-1\right)y=0,-3y^{2}+x^{2}=3
To solve a pair of equations using substitution, first solve one of the equations for one of the variables. Then substitute the result for that variable in the other equation.
x+\left(-m-1\right)y=0
Solve x+\left(-m-1\right)y=0 for x by isolating x on the left hand side of the equal sign.
x=\left(m+1\right)y
Subtract \left(-m-1\right)y from both sides of the equation.
-3y^{2}+\left(\left(m+1\right)y\right)^{2}=3
Substitute \left(m+1\right)y for x in the other equation, -3y^{2}+x^{2}=3.
-3y^{2}+\left(m+1\right)^{2}y^{2}=3
Square \left(m+1\right)y.
\left(\left(m+1\right)^{2}-3\right)y^{2}=3
Add -3y^{2} to \left(m+1\right)^{2}y^{2}.
\left(\left(m+1\right)^{2}-3\right)y^{2}-3=0
Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation.
y=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(\left(m+1\right)^{2}-3\right)\left(-3\right)}}{2\left(\left(m+1\right)^{2}-3\right)}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute -3+1\left(m+1\right)^{2} for a, 1\times 0\times 2\left(m+1\right) for b, and -3 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
y=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(\left(m+1\right)^{2}-3\right)\left(-3\right)}}{2\left(\left(m+1\right)^{2}-3\right)}
Square 1\times 0\times 2\left(m+1\right).
y=\frac{0±\sqrt{\left(-4\left(m+1\right)^{2}+12\right)\left(-3\right)}}{2\left(\left(m+1\right)^{2}-3\right)}
Multiply -4 times -3+1\left(m+1\right)^{2}.
y=\frac{0±\sqrt{12\left(m+1\right)^{2}-36}}{2\left(\left(m+1\right)^{2}-3\right)}
Multiply 12-4\left(m+1\right)^{2} times -3.
y=\frac{0±2\sqrt{3m^{2}+6m-6}}{2\left(\left(m+1\right)^{2}-3\right)}
Take the square root of -36+12\left(m+1\right)^{2}.
y=\frac{0±2\sqrt{3m^{2}+6m-6}}{2\left(m+1\right)^{2}-6}
Multiply 2 times -3+1\left(m+1\right)^{2}.
y=\frac{3}{\sqrt{3m^{2}+6m-6}}
Now solve the equation y=\frac{0±2\sqrt{3m^{2}+6m-6}}{2\left(m+1\right)^{2}-6} when ± is plus.
y=-\frac{3}{\sqrt{3m^{2}+6m-6}}
Now solve the equation y=\frac{0±2\sqrt{3m^{2}+6m-6}}{2\left(m+1\right)^{2}-6} when ± is minus.
x=\left(m+1\right)\times \frac{3}{\sqrt{3m^{2}+6m-6}}
There are two solutions for y: \frac{3}{\sqrt{3m^{2}-6+6m}} and -\frac{3}{\sqrt{3m^{2}-6+6m}}. Substitute \frac{3}{\sqrt{3m^{2}-6+6m}} for y in the equation x=\left(m+1\right)y to find the corresponding solution for x that satisfies both equations.
x=\frac{3}{\sqrt{3m^{2}+6m-6}}\left(m+1\right)
Multiply m+1 times \frac{3}{\sqrt{3m^{2}-6+6m}}.
x=\left(m+1\right)\left(-\frac{3}{\sqrt{3m^{2}+6m-6}}\right)
Now substitute -\frac{3}{\sqrt{3m^{2}-6+6m}} for y in the equation x=\left(m+1\right)y and solve to find the corresponding solution for x that satisfies both equations.
x=\left(-\frac{3}{\sqrt{3m^{2}+6m-6}}\right)\left(m+1\right)
Multiply m+1 times -\frac{3}{\sqrt{3m^{2}-6+6m}}.
x=\frac{3}{\sqrt{3m^{2}+6m-6}}\left(m+1\right),y=\frac{3}{\sqrt{3m^{2}+6m-6}}\text{ or }x=\left(-\frac{3}{\sqrt{3m^{2}+6m-6}}\right)\left(m+1\right),y=-\frac{3}{\sqrt{3m^{2}+6m-6}}
The system is now solved.
