Given equations:

x4+y4=82 ………… (1)

x-y=2 ………….. (2)

Now, we square equation (2).

So, we obtain:

(x-y)2=4

x2+y2-2xy=4

x2+y2 = 4+ 2xy

Squaring both sides:

x2+y22=(4+2xy)2

x4+y4+2x2y2=16+4x2y2+16xy ………….(3)

Again, we take the value of equation (1) in equation (3).

So, we obtain:

82=16+2x2y2+16xy

x2y2+8xy=33

x2y2+8xy-33=0

Now, we factorize the equation:

x2y2+8xy-33=0

x2y2+11xy-3xy-33=0

xyxy+11-3xy+11=0

xy-3xy+11=0

xy=3 or xy=-11

From equation (2),

x-y=2

x=y+2 ……………(4)

Put the value xy=3, i.e. x= 3y

y(y+2)=3

y2+2y-3=0

y2+3y-y-3=0

yy+3-1y+3=0

y-1y+3=0

y=1 or y=-3

Also, we get:

x=y+2=1+2=3

And x=y+2=-3+2=-1

Put the value xy=-11

yy+2=-11

y2+2y+11=0

Discriminant = 4-44 

This will have no real roots as the discriminant is less than zero. 

Hence, the required value of given equation is:y=1 or y=-3 and x=3 or x=-1.
