√a  + b = 11      => b = 11 - √a
7√b + a = 11
 => 49 b = (11 - a)²
 => 539 - 49 √a = (11 - a)²
 => 49 √a = 539 - (11 - a)²
 => 49² a  = 539² + (11 - a)⁴  - 2 * 539 * (11 - a)
 => a⁴ - 4 * 11 a³ + 6 *11² * a² - 4 *11³ a + 11⁴ - 22 * 539 + 1078 a - 49² a = 0
 => P(x) = a⁴ - 44 a³ + 726 a² - 7725 a  + 2783 = 0
 => 
a has four positive real values at most.  It appears.
Two of them are :
      a ≈ 0.37304      and  a ≈ 27.7359
       b ≈ 10.389      and    b ≈ 5.7335

There are no real negative roots.
Perhaps there are two more real positive roots or there are two imaginary roots.

The derivative of P(x) = P'(x) = 4 a³ - 132 a² + 1452 a - 7725
       has  one real root.  and two imaginary roots.
 
So P(x) can have at most two real roots.

The solutions as above are good.
