Answer:

We have two equations:

√x +2y^2 = 15 ----(1)

√4x - 4y^2=6 ----(2)

Let's solve for x:

From (1), we have:

√x = 15 - 2y^2

Squaring both sides, we get:

x = (15 - 2y^2)^2

Expanding, we get:

x = 225 - 60y^2 + 4y^4

From (2), we have:

√4x = 6 + 4y^2

Squaring both sides, we get:

4x = (6 + 4y^2)^2

Expanding, we get:

4x = 36 + 48y^2 + 16y^4

Substituting the expression for x from equation (1), we get:

4(225 - 60y^2 + 4y^4) = 36 + 48y^2 + 16y^4

Simplifying, we get:

900 - 240y^2 + 16y^4 = 9 + 12y^2 + 4y^4

Rearranging, we get:

12y^2 - 12y^4 = 891

Dividing both sides by 12y^2, we get:

1 - y^2 = 74.25/(y^2)

Multiplying both sides by y^2, we get:

y^2 - y^4 = 74.25

Let z = y^2. Substituting, we get:

z - z^2 = 74.25

Rearranging, we get:

z^2 - z + 74.25 = 0

Using the quadratic formula, we get:

z = (1 ± √(1 - 4(1)(74.25))) / 2

z = (1 ± √(-295)) / 2

Since the square root of a negative number is not real, there are no real solutions for z, which means there are no real solutions for y and x.

Therefore, the answer is "no solution".
