y=a−x  z=c−bx  b(c−bx)+x(a−x)=d  x^2 +(b^2 −a)x+d−bc=0  x=((a−b^2 ±(√((b^2 −a)^2 −4(d−bc))))/2)  yz=(a−x)(c−bx)  ⇒yz=(([a+b^2 ±(√((b^2 −a)^2 −4(d−bc)))][2c+b^3 −ab±b(√((b^2 −a)^2 −4(d−bc)))])/4)

$${y}={a}−{x} \\ $$$${z}={c}−{bx} \\ $$$${b}\left({c}−{bx}\right)+{x}\left({a}−{x}\right)={d} \\ $$$${x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\left({b}^{\mathrm{2}} −{a}\right){x}+{d}−{bc}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${x}=\frac{{a}−{b}^{\mathrm{2}} \pm\sqrt{\left({b}^{\mathrm{2}} −{a}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{4}\left({d}−{bc}\right)}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$${yz}=\left({a}−{x}\right)\left({c}−{bx}\right) \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{yz}=\frac{\left[{a}+{b}^{\mathrm{2}} \pm\sqrt{\left({b}^{\mathrm{2}} −{a}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{4}\left({d}−{bc}\right)}\right]\left[\mathrm{2}{c}+{b}^{\mathrm{3}} −{ab}\pm{b}\sqrt{\left({b}^{\mathrm{2}} −{a}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{4}\left({d}−{bc}\right)}\right]}{\mathrm{4}} \\ $$

Thanks Sir, but we can make use  of eq. in x^2  only to get x^2  in terms  of x and then substitute, doing this  i get  yz=ac+b^2 c−bd−(c+b^3 )x   i get  yz=ac+b^2 c−bd    −(c+b^3 )((a−b^2 ±(√((b^2 −a)^2 −4(d−bc))))/2)  .
