Is there a command in Maple that directly divides one equation by another and produce the result as one equation directly? I wanted to verify the text book, where it says
x^2-y^2 = a*z^2 ----- (1)
x-y = a*z ------(2)
dividing (1) by (2) gives
x+y = z ---(3)
So I typed this in Maple:
restart;
eq1:=x^2-y^2=a*z^2;
eq2:=x-y=a*z;
But now what to do? I can see the answer in book is correct by doing
solve( {eq1,eq2}, {x,y} );
And adding the solution given above, which shows it is z indeed. But I'd like to get Maple to generate equation (3) above automatically. Is this possible?
