Yet, doing:
(%i1) y = 2*x;
(%o1) y=2*x
(%i2) y=sqrt(x^2+3)
(%o2) y=sqrt(x^2+3)
(%i3) solve([%o1,%o2], [x,y]);
`algsys' cannot solve - system too complicated. -- an error. To debug
this try debugmode(true);
(%i4) solve([%o1,%o2^2], [x,y]);
(%o4) [[x=-1,y=-2],[x=1,y=2]]
Gets a solution. That's strange!
