Solution
We transform the equation to the following one
(x2+y2)(8x+8y−15)=15(xy+1)
Since the right side is divisible by 3, then 3∣(x2+y2)(8x+8y−15). But if 3∣(x2+y2), then 3∣x and 3∣y, which will give 15(xy+1) and 3∣(xy+1), which is impossible. Hence 3∣(x+y) and 3 does not divide x or y. Without loss of generality we can assume that x=3a+1 and y=3b+2. Substituting in the equation, we obtain
(x2+y2)(8(a+b)+3)=5(xy+1)
Since xy+1≡0(mod3), we conclude that 3∣(a+b).
Now we distinguish the following cases:
- If a+b=0, then x=3a+1 and y=−3a+2 from which we get
(9a2+6a+1+9a2−12a+4)⋅3=5(−9a2+3a+3) or 3a2−a=0
But a=31 is not an integer, so a=0 and x=1,y=2. Thus, by symmetry, we have two solutions (x,y)=(1,2) and (x,y)=(2,1).
- If a+b=0, then ∣8(a+b)+3∣≥21. So we obtain
(x2+y2)(8(a+b)+3)≥21x2+21y2≥∣5xy+5∣
which means that the equation has no other solutions.
