Correct answer: 8
- Write the system in matrix form
The system is
We solve it for integer triples .
- Solve the linear system
From the first equation,
Substitute into the second equation: Using ,
Then from ,
Now check the third equation: so it is automatically satisfied.
Hence all solutions are of the form Let . Then
- Apply the condition on
We need
For ,
So the condition becomes Divide by :
Now is an integer, so possible values of are Thus
That gives integer solutions.
- Conclusion
Therefore, the number of elements in the set is
