Sums of squares of relatively prime natural numbers

48 Views Asked by At

Let $x, y, z, t$ be natural pairwise relatively prime numbers such that

$$xy+yz+zt = xt$$

Prove that the sum of squares of two of them is exactly twise the sum of squares of the other two numbers.

I figure that $x^2 + t^2 = 2(y^2 + z^2)$, but I can't prove it.

I've gone through tonnes of algebra only to figure out something else is needed. I could't even find a way to utilize the fact the numbers are relatively prime, as Bezout's lemma makes the algebra even messier.
