How do you solve the simultaneous differential equation below?

dx/dt=(2-x)y
dy/dt=(y^2)/x
When t=0, x=y=1

And do I need to use laplace transforms?

As far as I can see you only need to divide the two equations by each other in order to get

dy/y = dx/(x*(2-x))

andt this problem can be solved easily by
eypanding the fraction on the right side and I guess this to be equal to

(1/x -1/(2-x))/2

forgive me if there is some minus wrong.
Please check for it.

Mathematiccs is easy. Only calculating is difficult....

Thus you arrive at

dy/y = 0.5 (1/x - 1/(2-x))dx or

dy/y = 0.5dx/x - 0.5dx/(2-x)

which should be easy to solve including the required boundary conditions.

with kind regards
