This is somewhat ambiguous, but here is a try.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x and y are the natural numbers to find.
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2By=4\";
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2%2By%5E2-9%28x%2By%29=8\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The sum of just the two numbers can be substituted to give \"x%5E2%2By%5E2-9%2A4=8\",
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2%2By%5E2-36-8=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2%2By%5E2=44\"
\n" ); document.write( "Going back to x+y=4, y=4-x, so substitute into the circle equation:
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2%2B%284-x%29%5E2=44\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2%2B16-8x%2Bx%5E2=44\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%5E2-8x%2B16-44=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%5E2-8x-28=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight_green%28x%5E2-4x-14=0%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "'
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=%284%2B-+sqrt%2872%29%29%2F2\"; unless I made a mistake, this value will not be a Natural Number. Neither will be y Natural.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
