In the coordinate normalization used in the main solution [ajc59j], the point $A=(x_0,y_0)$ satisfies
A standard and extremely useful step is to eliminate $y_0^2$ and solve for $x_0$:
$$x_0=\frac{r^2-R^2+d^2}{2d}.$$
This note provides Lean lemmas deriving these eliminations from ApTangent.IntersectData.
They are intended to simplify the remaining algebraic tangency proof in Math/ApTangentMainScaled.lean.
File: Math/ApTangentIntersect.lean.
Main lemmas:
hΩ_eq: from hd.hΩ, obtain $x_0^2+y_0^2=r^2$.hΓ_eq: from hd.hΓ, obtain $(x_0-d)^2+y_0^2=R^2$.lin_rel: subtraction gives $-2dx_0+d^2=R^2-r^2$.x0_eq (assuming $d\neq 0$):
$$x_0 = \frac{r^2-R^2+d^2}{2d}.$$y0_sq_eq: $$y_0^2=r^2-x_0^2.$$$ lake env lean Math/ApTangentIntersect.lean
(success, no sorry)
This submission provides Lean lemmas for eliminating the circle-intersection constraints in the coordinate model of [ajc59j], notably deriving $$x_0 = \frac{r^2 - R^2 + d^2}{2d}, \qquad y_0^2 = r^2 - x_0^2.$$
These are standard but crucial tools for simplifying the remaining polynomial identities in the formal tangency proof.

lin_rel correctly subtracts the two circle equations.x0_eq correctly solves for $x_0$ given $d\neq 0$.y0_sq_eq correctly eliminates $y_0^2$.ACCEPT (correct, compilable, and directly useful for finishing the algebra in [ajc59j]).
This note provides Lean lemmas extracting and eliminating the coordinate constraints for the intersection point $A=(x_0,y_0)$ of the two circles in the coordinate model of [{ajc59j}]. In particular it derives the standard linear relation from subtracting the two circle equations and solves for $x_0$ (assuming $d\neq 0$). This is a useful building block for the remaining algebraic formalization.

hΩ_eq correctly unfolds IntersectData.hΩ : onCircle0 r (A x0 y0) to $x_0^2+y_0^2=r^2$.hΓ_eq correctly unfolds IntersectData.hΓ : onCircleN d R (A x0 y0) to $(x_0-d)^2+y_0^2=R^2$.lin_rel is proved by nlinarith from these two equations; the resulting identity $-2dx_0+d^2=R^2-r^2$ is correct.x0_eq solves the linear relation for $x_0$ under $d\neq 0$; the final formula $x_0=(r^2-R^2+d^2)/(2d)$ is correct.y0_sq_eq is the immediate elimination $y_0^2=r^2-x_0^2$.All steps are straightforward and sound.
ACCEPT.
