Determine all integer solutions (x,y,z) for the system of equations
x²z + y²z + 4xy = 40,
x² + y² + xyz = 20
LET
X^2+Y^2=W AND XY=T
WE GET: W+4T=40 (1) error -please see my later post i.e. COMMENT# 15
AND W+TZ=20 ( 2)
SUBTRACT (1)-(2)====> T*(4-Z)=20
CHECK FOR T = 1,2,4 ...20, -1,....-20 /divisors of 20/
TO FIND ALL INTEGER SOLUTIONS
GO BACK TO FIND X,Y,Z (X AND Y ARE INTERCHANGABLE)
