Square Crossed Linear Expression Poser (Posted on 2023-08-18) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Determine all possible pairs (A,B) of positive integers that satisfy this equation:
  • BA2 = AB+2
Provide valid reasoning for your answer.

Notes:
(i) x^x^x is equal to x^(x^x) and NOT (x^x)^x.

(ii) Computer program/excel solver assisted solutions are welcome, but a semi-analytic (hand calculator and p&p) methodology is preferred.

(iii) Adapted from a problem appearing in Taiwan M.O: 2000.
