x3 − y 3 = xy + 61.
x − y 4 = 4,
where x is a prime.
6. Find all pairs (x, y) of integers such that
x6 + 3x3 + 1 = y 4 .
8. Find all integers a, b, c with 1 < a < b < c such that the number
(a − 1)(b − 1)(c − 1) is a divisor of abc − 1.

9. Find all right triangles with integer side lengths such that their
areas and perimeters are equal.
10. Solve the following system in integers x, y, z, u, v:
⎧
⎨ x + y + z + u + v = xyuv + (x + y)(u + v),
⎩ xy + z + uv = xy(u + v) + uv(x + y).

11. Prove that the equation x(x + 1) = p2n y(y + 1) is not solvable
in positive integers, where p is a prime and n is a positive integer.

x3 + y 3 = (x + y)2 .
Solution. Note that all pairs of the form (k, −k), k ∈ Z, are solu-
tions. If x + y = 0, the equation becomes
x2 − xy + y 2 = x + y,
which is equivalent to
xy + yz + zx − xyz = 2.
(x + y)2 + 3x + y + 1 = z 2 .
(x + 1)4 − (x − 1)4 = y 3 .

(x2 − y 2 )2 = 1 + 16y.
a + b + c = xyz,
x + y + z = abc,
and a ≥ b ≥ c ≥ 1, x ≥ y ≥ z ≥ 1.
xyzuv = x + y + z + u + v.
x2 + y 2 + z 2 + w2 = 3(x + y + z + w).
