Question:How to solve system in that way?

Is there a command in Maple that directly divides one equation by another and produce the result as one equation directly? I wanted to verify the text book, where it says

      x^2-y^2 = a*z^2   ----- (1)
      x-y          = a*z       ------(2)
dividing (1) by (2) gives

      x+y = z  ---(3)

So I typed this in Maple:

restart;
eq1:=x^2-y^2=a*z^2;
eq2:=x-y=a*z;

But now what to do? I can see the answer in book is correct by doing

   solve( {eq1,eq2}, {x,y} );

And adding the solution given above, which shows it is z indeed.  But I'd like to get Maple to generate equation (3) above automatically.  Is this possible?
