[tex]substitute:x^2-y^2=-12\ to\ x^2+3xy-y^2=12\\\\3xy-12=12\\3xy=12+12\\3xy=24\ \ \ \ \ /:3\\xy=8\to x=\frac{8}{y}\\\\substitute\ to\ x^2-y^2=-12\\\\\left(\frac{8}{y}\right)^2-y^2=-12\\\\\frac{64}{y^2}=y^2-12[/tex]
[tex]\frac{64}{y^2}=\frac{y^2-12}{1}\\\\y^2(y^2-12)=64\\\\y^4-12y^2-64=0\\\\substitute:y^2=t > 0\\\\t^2-12t-64=0[/tex]
