Write 100 as the sum of two positive integers

From Bezout’s Lemma, note that since $\gcd(7,11) = 1$, which divides $100$, there exists $x,y \in \mathbb{Z}$ such that $7x+11y=100$.

A candidate solution is $(x,y) = (8,4)$.

The rest of the solution is given by $(x,y) = (8+11m,4-7m)$, where $m \in \mathbb{Z}$. Since we are looking for positive integers as solutions, we need $8+11m > 0$ and $4-7m>0$, which gives us $-\frac8{11}<m<\frac47$. This means the only value of $m$, when we restrict $x,y$ to positive integers is $m=0$, which gives us $(x,y) = (8,4)$ as the only solution in positive integers.

If you do not like to guess your candidate solution, a more algorithmic procedure is using Euclid' algorithm to obtain solution to $7a+11b=1$, which is as follows.

We have
$$\begin{align} 11 & = 7 \cdot (1) + 4 \implies 4 = 11 - 7 \cdot (1)\\ 7 & = 4 \cdot (1) + 3 \implies 3 = 7 - 4 \cdot (1) \implies 3 = 7 - (11-7\cdot (1))\cdot (1) = 2\cdot 7 - 11\\ 4 & = 3 \cdot (1) + 1 \implies 1 = 4 - 3 \cdot (1) \implies 1 = (11-7 \cdot(1)) - (2\cdot 7 - 11) \cdot 1 = 11 \cdot 2-7 \cdot 3 \end{align}$$
This means the solution to $7a+11b=1$ using Euclid' algorithm is $(-3,2)$. Hence, the candidate solution $7x+11y=100$ is $(-300,200)$. Now all possible solutions are given by $(x,y) = (-300+11n,200-7n)$. Since we need $x$ and $y$ to be positive, we need $-300+11n > 0$ and $200-7n > 0$, which gives us
$$\dfrac{300}{11} < n < \dfrac{200}7 \implies 27 \dfrac3{11} < n < 28 \dfrac47$$
The only integer in this range is $n=28$, which again gives $(x,y) = (8,4)$.
