y= (2x+3) + (7/((x+3))) .  this is hint given!
$$\mathrm{y}=\:\left(\mathrm{2}{x}+\mathrm{3}\right)\:+\:\frac{\mathrm{7}}{\left({x}+\mathrm{3}\right)}\:. \\ $$$$\mathrm{this}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{hint}\:\mathrm{given}! \\ $$

i want to know how does this form comes  to our mind? after seeing q.   any other method??

we have to check for pairs of  integers, so in this case where  the given equation is linear for  y but of degree 2 for x, it′s easier  to solve for y instead of trying  pairs for x and y.  with the given hint we see that  y is integer only if (7/(x+3)) is integer.  x=−10∨x=−4∨x=−2∨x=4  (x,y)=(−10,−18)∨(−4,−12)∨(−2,6)∨(4,12)
