 { (((√(x^2  − (5/9) + (√(y + x^2  − (5/9))))) = y)),(((√(y^2  − (4/9) + (√(x + y^2  − (4/9))))) = x)) :}  Find:   x , y = ?

$$\begin{cases}{\sqrt{\mathrm{x}^{\mathrm{2}} \:−\:\frac{\mathrm{5}}{\mathrm{9}}\:+\:\sqrt{\mathrm{y}\:+\:\mathrm{x}^{\mathrm{2}} \:−\:\frac{\mathrm{5}}{\mathrm{9}}}}\:=\:\mathrm{y}}\\{\sqrt{\mathrm{y}^{\mathrm{2}} \:−\:\frac{\mathrm{4}}{\mathrm{9}}\:+\:\sqrt{\mathrm{x}\:+\:\mathrm{y}^{\mathrm{2}} \:−\:\frac{\mathrm{4}}{\mathrm{9}}}}\:=\:\mathrm{x}}\end{cases} \\ $$$$\mathrm{Find}:\:\:\:\mathrm{x}\:,\:\mathrm{y}\:=\:? \\ $$

x=(5/9)∧y=(4/9)

$${x}=\frac{\mathrm{5}}{\mathrm{9}}\wedge{y}=\frac{\mathrm{4}}{\mathrm{9}} \\ $$

The easiest way is to set y=px  Squaring and transforming both equations  two times and then subtracting leads to  a quadratic equation which is easy to solve  for p or x.  Then we get 4 solutions which we must  check ⇒ only 1 solution is valid.
