Question 893330: Hi, I have this question that seems impossible but I'm sure there's an explanation. The question is:
Prove by contradiction that there are no positive integer solutions to x^2-y^2=1 and x^2-y^2=10
Thanks!

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
There are no solutions to this system of equations at all because by substitution,
1=10 which is false and no value for x,y can make this true.
Please check your problem setup and repost if you need to.
