I want to solve this equation in a simpler way

I want to solve this equation with x and y being real numbers not complex ones.

but without making a system of equations for the real part and the imaginary part like so:

Is there any way to use Find or solve in this case?

Unfortunately as so often the symbolic solve ignores the "assume" constraint

You can force it to give you al solutions (using "fully") but you have to find out yourself that a parameter _z=1 will give you the desired all real solutions.

But a numeric solve block with "Find" does the job because it would only return non-real solutions if the guess values are non-real

Try this in your Mathcad 15 and come back and show/post the result:

 

Given

x+2*y=4

2*x-y=3

Find(x,y)
