Given that x y ( x + y ) = 0 xy - (x+y) = 0 , then ( x 1 ) ( y 1 ) = 1 = { ( 1 ) ( 1 ) ( x , y ) = ( 0 , 0 ) ( 1 ) ( 1 ) ( x , y ) = ( 2 , 2 ) (x-1)(y-1) = 1 = \begin{cases} (-1)(-1) & \implies (x,y) = (0,0) \\ (1)(1) & \implies (x,y) = (2,2) \end{cases} . Therefore, there are 2 \boxed 2 solutions.

👏 Nice one!
