Integers , , and satisfy , , and . What is ?
Solution
Subtracting the first two equations yields . Notice that both factors are integers, so could equal one of and . We consider each case separately:
For , from the second equation, we see that . Then , which is not possible as is an integer, so this case is invalid.
For , we have and , which by experimentation on the factors of has no solution, so this is also invalid.
For , we have and , which by experimentation on the factors of has no solution, so this is also invalid.
Thus, we must have , so and . Thus , so . We can simply trial and error this to find that so then . The answer is then .
