Vieta root jumping is a descent method that occurs when you have to solve a Diophantine equation whose solutions have a recursive structure. Popular in advanced math olympiad number theory problems.
If \(x\) and \(y\) are non-zero real numbers satisfying the system of equations
\[\begin{cases} x-y= 24, \\ x^2-2xy-y=24, \end{cases}\] what is the value of \(x+y\)?

For the simultaneous equations \[x+y = 2k+16, xy+x+y = k^2+5k+16\] to have real solutions, it must be the case that \(k \geq -\frac{a}{b}\), where \(a\) and \(b\) are coprime positive integers. What is the value of \(a+b\)?
