Find value of $x^2+y^2+z^2+w^2$ if: $$\frac{x^2}{2^2-1^2}+\frac{y^2}{2^2-3^2}+\frac{z^2}{2^2-5^2}+\frac{w^2}{2^2-7^2} =1$$ $$\frac{x^2}{4^2-1^2}+\frac{y^2}{4^2-3^2}+\frac{z^2}{4^2-5^2}+\frac{w^2}{4^2-7^2} =1$$ $$\frac{x^2}{6^2-1^2}+\frac{y^2}{6^2-3^2}+\frac{z^2}{6^2-5^2}+\frac{w^2}{6^2-7^2} =1$$ $$\frac{x^2}{8^2-1^2}+\frac{y^2}{8^2-3^2}+\frac{z^2}{8^2-5^2}+\frac{w^2}{8^2-7^2} =1$$
My try: I tried it by making denominator of all same. But when I try to make x's denominator same then y's changes. I don't know how to solve it further.
Answer: Given answer in my book is 16.
