#Pls give the solution

(x + 2y)^2 + 2x + 5y + 9 = (y + z)^2
(x + 2y)^2 + 2(x + 2y) + y + 9 = (y + z)^2
(x + 2y)^2 + 2(x + 2y) + 1 + y + 8 = (y + z)^2
(x + 2y + 1)^2 + y + 8 = (y + z)^2
If y + 8 is a perfect square, the equation looks like a^2 + b^2 = c^2.
got it?
That was crazy but what after?
a = 4, b = 3, c = 5 → y = 1. x = 1. z = 4
why y + 8 will be a perfect square?
can you pls explain this a bit
I got the rest
Was question to find all solutions?
