Recursion in between

Algebra Level pending

a n + 1 = 4 3 ( a n 2 + 5 a n ) \large{{ a }_{ n+1 }=\left\lfloor \frac { 4 }{ 3 } \left( \left\lfloor \sqrt { { a }_{ n }^{ 2 }+5{ a }_{ n } } \right\rfloor \right) \right\rfloor }

Let there be a sequence defined by above rule for n 1 n\ge 1 . If a 16 = 628 a_{16}=628 and the first perfect square immediately before a 16 a_{16} occurs at a x a_{x} ( x < 14 x<14 ) and a 20 a 10 = y \large{\left\lfloor \frac { { a }_{ 20 } }{ { a }_{ 10 } } \right\rfloor =y} . Find x + y x+y


The answer is 29.
