Let z= ax^4+by^4
I a+b=23, b=(23-a) Substitution (b)
II ax+by=79, a=(79-23y)/(x-y), b=(23-((79-23y)/(x-y)) Substitution (a) (b)
III ax^2+by^2=217, ((79-23y)/(x-y))*x^2+(23-((79-23y)/(x-y)))*y^2=217, x= (217-79y)/(79-23y) Substitution (a)(b)(x)
IV ax^3+by^3=691, the last substitution producing the heroic:
((79-23y)/(((217-79y)/(79-23y))-y))*((217-79y)/(79-23y))^3+(23-((79-23y)/(((217-79y)/(79-23y))-y)))*y^3=691
V Simplifying spectacularly to 1250((y-3)(y+2))/(79-23y) = 0, y= {-2,3}
Substituting backwards gives x={3,-2}, a= {25,-2}, b={-2,25} when z=1993
Note: (Step V)
Start with: ((79-23y)/(((217-79y)/(79-23y))-y))*((217-79y)/(79-23y))^3+(23-((79-23y)/(((217-79y)/(79-23y))-y)))*y^3=691
Let p=(79-23y), q=(217-79y)
((p)/(((q)/(p))-y))*((q)/(p))^3+(23-((p)/(((q)/(p))-y)))*y^3=691
Take LHS
q^3/(p(q-py))+23y^3+(p^2y^3)/(py-q) = q^2/p+qy+py^2+23y^3 (the term in q^3 cancels since (p^2y^3)/(py-q) = q^3/(p(py-q))+q^2/p+py^2+qy, while q^3/(p(q-py)) = -q^3/(p(py-q))
Resubstitute q (a different method could make q=(3p-20-10y))
(6241y^2-34286y+47089)/p+217y-79y^2+py^2+23y^3
Resubstitute p in the non-fractional part: 217y-79y^2+(79-23y)y^2+23y^3 = 217y
Resubstitute p throughout, put over a common denominator, and start with the numerator:
(6241y^2-34286y+47089)+(79-23y)217y
1250y^2-17143y+47089
Completing the expression:
(1250y^2-17143y+47089)/(79-23y)
Reincorporate RHS:
(1250y^2-17143y+47089)/(79-23y)-691=0
Put over a common denominator, and start with the numerator on LHS:
(1250y^2-17143y+47089)-691(79-23y)
1250y^2-17143y+47089-54589+15893y
1250y^2-(1250y)+(-7500) = 1250(y^2-y-6)
[(y^2-y-6)=(y-3)(y+2)]
Finally: 1250((y-3)(y+2))/(79-23y) [= 0]
