Hello !

Write :

In[9]:=
Reduce[{x^2 - y == 2, x + y == 0}, {x, y}, 
  Backsubstitution -> True]

Out[9]=
x == -2 && y == 2 || x == 1 && y == -1

Hello!

In Mathematica 5.1 I get the following result from Reduce:

Reduce[{x^2 - y == 2, x + y == 0}, {x, y}]

(x == -2 || x == 1) && y == -x

Sincerely, I preferred the output of version 4.2:

x==-2 && y==2 || x==1 && y==-1

To recover this good old form in 5.1 I have to Reduce[] twice:

Reduce[Reduce[{x^2 - y == 2, x + y == 0}, {x, y}]]

I think wri should work on this for the next version.

Best regards,

Gianluca Gorni
