Oh ok thank you for the direct answer, that makes sense... I guess that does work if you say +/- 1 is the square root. So there ARE real solutions...

Just to clarify, I am asking for a solution...

Apparently you don't either if you're example solution is 5... I simply asked for an example solution...I know that you think that you are extremely intelligent, but you have failed to answer a rather simple question...

I know what an imaginary number is...I mean, could you provide an example of a solution for this equation.

Um, could you provide an example, I couldn't find one...

You are right, no solutions exist.

I am trying to find a general rule for finding solutions to the problem ab-a-b=x. Solving for a or b, it is apparent that 2 and 2+x always work as solutions. Some values of x, however, such as as 50, have multiple solutions. Any suggestions as to how to solve for these solutions?
