I have the following two equations:
\begin{eqnarray} y(y-x-p) = x(y+3x-3p) \\ (p-x-y)^2 = k x y^3 \end{eqnarray}
where $p,k$ are constants known. How do I solve this for $x,y$? WolframAlpha provides
this solution.
I want to do it "by hand".

Hint : Let $P=x+y-p$, now note that the first equation can be rewritten as \begin{eqnarray*} y(P-2x)=x(3P-2y). \end{eqnarray*} Should be a doddle from here ?
