(x^4-y^4)/(x^2-y^2) = x^2 + y^2
x^2 = 16*3 = 48
y^2 = 9*5 = 45
Therefore, x^2 + y^2 = 93

Thank you, I am not sure I understdand. I ended up with:
(x^4-y^4)/(x^2-y^2) = x^2 - y^2
x^2 = 16*3 = 48
y^2 = -9*5 = -45

Therefore, (x^4-y^4)/(x^2-y^2) = (x^2-y^2)* (x^2+y^2)/(x^2-y^2) = (x^2+y^2)

\(x = 4\sqrt{3 }\) and \(y=3\sqrt{5}\)
\(\frac{x^4 - y^4 }{ x^2 - y^2} = \frac{(x^2 - y^2)*(x^2 + y^2) }{ x^2 - y^2} = (x^2 + y^2)\)
\((x^2 + y^2) = (4√3)^2 + (3√5)^2) = 16*3 + 9*5 = 93\)
