How many natural numbers $x$, $y$ are possible if $(x - y)^2 = \frac{4xy}{x + y - 1}$.

Does this system has infinite solutions which can be generalized for some integer $k \geq 2?$

$(x - y)^2(x + y) = (x + y)^2 ;$

since $(x + y)$ can not be $0$ ;

$(x - y)^2 = (x + y);$

$x^2 - x(2y + 1) + y^2 - y = 0$;

For $x$ to be integer, discriminant($D$) should be perfect square;

$D = 8y + 1;$

$y = k(k + 1)/2$;

$(x, y) = (\frac{k(k + 1)}{2},\frac{k(k - 1)}{2})$ or vice versa;

infinite possibilities
