Easy question about a system (or is it)

[BMAD]

Suppose we have the following system

x^2+y^2=r; x+y=r, such that the line crosses the circle at exactly two places. 

Obviously with two equations and three variables, we have a solution set of answers that can satisfy the given conditions.  What I want to know is of the given solutions that satisfies this problem, what is the smallest and largest values x can possibly be?

Max of x is 1/2+(1/√2) and min 0??

I have a negative value for x as my min and a different x max

This is not the answer but as an example of this possibility:

X comes around 1.207 at r = 1 + (1/√ 2) . Are you saying a larger value of x is possible??

On the right track but see if you can find what x is approaching.
