Nonlinear Simultaneous System

What is Nonlinear Simultaneous System?

A pair of equations in two unknowns in which at least one equation is not linear, so that it contains a squared term, a product of the unknowns, a reciprocal or a similar nonlinear expression. Reducing such a system normally produces a quadratic rather than a linear equation, so it usually has more than one solution, and the reduction step must be chosen to avoid dividing by a quantity that could be zero.

This definition is part of the Simultaneous Equations chapter in Cambridge O Level Additional Mathematics.
