I have this code:
(%i3)depends([y,x],t)$
eqsp: [y=2*x,
v=diff(y,t,1)+y];
eliminate(eqsp,[y]);
(eqsp) [y=2*x,v='diff(y,t,1)+y]
(%o3) [-'diff(y,t,1)-2*x+v]
And this is a picture for better visualization:

I was expecting that Maxima would perform a substitution of "y" in the second equation, and then differentiate to get "[-2*diff(x,t,1)-2*x+v]".
This is of course not the real problem (which has many more equations), it's just that I think I'm missing some concept here for Maxima to do what I want.
Thanks in advance for your comments. I'm a newbie in Stackoverflow and in Maxima, sorry if I made some mistake.
