If y is odd, y 2 ≡ 1 ( m o d 4 ) ⇒ x 3 ≡ 2 ( m o d 4 ) , Which is impossible. If y is even, x 3 + 2 3 ≡ 0 ( m o d 4 ) ⇒ x 3 ≡ 1 ( m o d 4 ) ⇒ x ≡ 1 ( m o d 4 ) . now, y 2 + 4 = x 3 + 2 7 ⇒ 4 ( ( 2 y ) 2 + 1 ) = ( x + 3 ) ( x 2 − 3 x + 9 ) but, x ≡ 1 ( m o d 4 ) ⇒ x 2 − 3 x + 9 ≡ − 1 ( m o d 4 ) . So, x 2 − 3 x + 9 has at least a prime divisor p such that p ≡ − 1 ( m o d 4 ) . Then, p ∣ ( 2 y ) 2 + 1 bt we know,if q is a prime,a is a integer and q ∣ a 2 + 1 , Then q=2 or q ≡ 1 ( m o d 4 ) . So contradiction!!!
