an infinite number of solutions for x^2 + 2xy - x = 200
let x= 1, then y = 100, (x,y)=(1,100) is a solution
let x=2 then y= 198/4 = 49.5, (2,49.5) is another solution
let x= 3 then y = 194/6 = 32.333... (3,32 1/3) is another solution
let x =4 then y = 188/8 = 23.5, (4, 23.5) is another solution
x and y are inversely related,
2xy = 200+x-x^2
y = 100/x + 1/2 - x/2
solutions are (x, 100/x+1/2-x/2)
