tdx=\left(td-2xd\right)t
Consider the first equation. Use the distributive property to multiply t-2x by d.
tdx=dt^{2}-2xdt
Use the distributive property to multiply td-2xd by t.
tdx+2xdt=dt^{2}
Add 2xdt to both sides.
3tdx=dt^{2}
Combine tdx and 2xdt to get 3tdx.
tdy=\left(txd+tyd+2xd-td\right)t
Consider the second equation. Use the distributive property to multiply tx+ty+2x-t by d.
tdy=xdt^{2}+ydt^{2}+2xdt-dt^{2}
Use the distributive property to multiply txd+tyd+2xd-td by t.
tdy-xdt^{2}=ydt^{2}+2xdt-dt^{2}
Subtract xdt^{2} from both sides.
tdy-xdt^{2}-ydt^{2}=2xdt-dt^{2}
Subtract ydt^{2} from both sides.
tdy-xdt^{2}-ydt^{2}-2xdt=-dt^{2}
Subtract 2xdt from both sides.
-dxt^{2}-2dtx+dty-dyt^{2}=-dt^{2}
Reorder the terms.
\left(-dt^{2}-2dt\right)x+\left(dt-dt^{2}\right)y=-dt^{2}
Combine all terms containing x,y.
3dtx=dt^{2},\left(-dt^{2}-2dt\right)x+\left(dt-dt^{2}\right)y=-dt^{2}
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.
3dtx=dt^{2}
Pick one of the two equations which is more simple to solve for x by isolating x on the left hand side of the equal sign.
x=\frac{t}{3}
Divide both sides by 3td.
\left(-dt^{2}-2dt\right)\times \frac{t}{3}+\left(dt-dt^{2}\right)y=-dt^{2}
Substitute \frac{t}{3} for x in the other equation, \left(-dt^{2}-2dt\right)x+\left(dt-dt^{2}\right)y=-dt^{2}.
-\frac{d\left(t+2\right)t^{2}}{3}+\left(dt-dt^{2}\right)y=-dt^{2}
Multiply -dt^{2}-2dt times \frac{t}{3}.
dt\left(1-t\right)y=\frac{d\left(t-1\right)t^{2}}{3}
Add \frac{d\left(2+t\right)t^{2}}{3} to both sides of the equation.
y=-\frac{t}{3}
Divide both sides by td\left(1-t\right).
x=\frac{t}{3},y=-\frac{t}{3}
The system is now solved.
