4-158 Try to find the integer solutions of the following system of equations
Solution
[Solution] Since . Therefore, or , i.e., . Substituting into the second equation of the original system, we have
but is not a solution, while are two sets of integer solutions.
When , from the first equation of the original system, we get , substituting into -30, we have which has no integer solutions.
When , substituting , we get , which gives and , with corresponding and , providing two more sets of integer solutions. Therefore, the original equation has four sets of integer solutions:
