Goal seek Two dependant target values by two dependant input cells

I have searched extensively for the above, but i cannot find a solution that is iterative and that satisfies the conditions.

I have a value, x, in cell A1 and a value, y, in cell A2.

Then i have a value, k1, in cell A3, and a value, k2 in cell A4.

I want to change the value of x and y, to achieve a value of 0 of value k1 and k2.

So essentially i have two equations with two unknowns that are too complicated to be solved. Therefor i want to use goalseek, the values of cell A1 and cell A2 untill cell A3 and A4 is equal to 0.

Current macro reads:
Code:
Sub Macro1()'For i = 1 To 500
 For j = 16 To 17
      k = j + 3
      Cells(k, "B").GoalSeek Goal:=0, ChangingCell:=Cells(j, "B")
 Next j
 'Next i
 
End Sub
Problem is that it first finds a value for A1 so cell A3 is equal to 0. Then it finds a value of A2 so cell A4 is equal to 0. But since they are dependant values, cell A3 is now not 0 anymore.

Is it possible to create a double seek function that can handle two dependant input values?

Hi

Try, for ex.:

Set A5

=A3^2+A4^2

(or =ABS(A3)+ABS(A4))

and use Goal Seek to find A5=0 (or Min A5) depending on A1 and A2
