I'm trying to numerically solve a system of equations.  Currently I have:

sage: var('x y p q')
sage: eq1 = p+q==9
sage: eq2 = q*y+p*x==-6
sage: eq3 = q*y^2+p*x^2==24
sage: solve([eq1,eq2,eq3,p==1],p,q,x,y)
[[p == 3, q == 6, x == (-2*sqrt(10) - 2)/3, y == (sqrt(2)*sqrt(5) - 
2)/3], [p == 3, q == 6, x == (2*sqrt(10) - 2)/3, y == (-sqrt(2)*sqrt(5) 
- 2)/3]]

I'd like the answer to be a numeric approximation, though (i.e., 
x==-2.77485177345).  I can't find any other solving routines other than 
the symbolic one, though.  Is there a way to numerically approximate the 
solution, other than going through each solution and calling n() on the 
left side of each symbolic expression?

Thanks,

Jason

P.S. On a different note, my real code has something like:

sage: [solve([eq1,eq2,eq3,p==i],p,q,x,y) for i in [1..4]]

which produces a nested list.  Is there a way to flatten the list by one 
or two levels, but not flatten it all the way?  Something like:

sage: flatten([[[1,2],[3,4]],[[5,6],[7,8]]],1)
[[1,2],[3,4],[5,6],[7,8]]
