Desmos solution Comment 2 of 2 |
Since there aren't many numbers to check and they are ordered pairs, I though I might try using Desmos to solve.

You can see the ordered pair (2,7) gives zero, corresponding to the solution to x^y-y^x-11y-x=0

There are also extraneous solutions (0,0) and (1,0)

I just realized it calls for positive integers (it was just 'digits' in the queue.) I added log(abs(l)) so the solution shows us as 'undefined'
