Jinglander,

There are solutions available for this equation.Can you post the answer options.

If x and y are integers.

x=6,y=8,6^2+8^2=36+64=100

x+y=14

x=-6,y=-8,(-6)^2+(-8)^2=36+64=100

x+y=-14

If x and y are not integers,there are many values possible for x and y.

(sqrt(50))^2+((sqrt(50))^2=100

(sqrt(25))^2+((sqrt(75))^2=100

Hope this clarify..
