The only values satisfying

a2 + b2 = 25 are a = 3, b = 4
or a = 4, b = 3 with a + b = 7 in both cases.
similarly x2 + y2 = 13 is
satisfied by x = 2, y = 3 or x = 3, y = 2 with
x + y =5 in both the cases. Thus
ax + by + ay + bx
= (a + b)x + (a + b)y
= (a + b) (x + y) = 7 5 = 35
Let p,q be primes such that p2 + 7pq + q2 =
m2 for some positive integer m. we write
5pq = m2 (p + q)2
5pq = (m + p + q) (m p q)
we can immediately rule out the possibilities
m + p + q = p,
m + p + q = q and m + p + q = 5
[In the last case m > p, m> q and p,q are at
least 2]
consider the case
m + p + q = 5p and m p q = q
4p q = 2q + p ; 3p = 3q or p = q
Finally taking m + p + q = pq. m p q = 5
pq p q = 5 + p + q
pq 5 = 2p + 2q = 2(p + q)
pq 2p 2q = 5
pq 2p 2q + 4 = 9
p (q 2) 2(q 2) = 9
(q 2) (p 2) = 9,
Thus p = q = 5 or (p, q) = (3,11) or (11, 3)
Thus the set of solution is
{(p, p) : p is prime} {(3,11), (3,11)}

As p, q, r are roots of the cubic equation

x3 3px2 + 3q2x r3 = 0
p + q + r = 3p
..(i)
pq + qr + pr = 3q2
..(ii)
pqr = r3
..(iii)
Now if p = 0 then r = 0 by (iii)
q = 0 by (i) i.e. q = 0 then p = q = r = 0
also if q = 0 then r = 0 by (iii) and p = 0 by (i)
Finally if r = 0 then (ii) implies
pq = 3q2 q(p 3q) = 0
q = 0 or p = 3q
Hence in both cases by (i)
we have p = q = r = 0
Now, suppose that none of p, q, r is 0
then (iii) implies
pq = r2
..(iv)
Hence (ii) implies r2 + r (p + q) = 3q2
so r(p + q + r) = 3q2
