\n" ); document.write( "It is almost trivial to find any number of solutions to the problem as you posted it....

\n" ); document.write( " $\"x-2y%2Bsqrt%28x%29%2By+=+%281%2F2%29sqrt%286%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2Bsqrt%28x%29-y+=+%281%2F2%29sqrt%286%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y+=+x%2Bsqrt%28x%29-%281%2F2%29sqrt%286%29\"$

\n" ); document.write( "Now choose any rational value you want for x and use that equation to find the corresponding value for y, which will also be rational.

\n" ); document.write( "I will guess that that is not the answer you were looking for. If not, then re-post the question, showing the given equation correctly.
