This was a straightforward complete the square problem.
x 2 + y 2 + z 2 + 4 x 2 − x y + 4 1 y 2 + 4 3 y 2 − 3 y + 3 + z 2 − 2 z + 1 ( x − 2 1 y ) 2 + 4 3 ( y − 2 ) 2 + ( z − 1 ) 2 = x y + 3 y + 2 z = 0 = 0
Since squares are nonnegative, it follows that ( x , y , z ) = ( 1 , 2 , 1 ) , and this is the only solution. Thus, there is one solution only.
