Multiplying both sides by 4(ab)2 we get (16−b2)(a2+2a−1)+(16−a2)(b2+2b−1)=168 , which quickly leads to 17(a2+b2)+24(a+b)−232=0. Now set t=a+b>0 , and thus t2−8=a2+b2, and get 17t2+24t−368=0 , which has as solutions t1=4 and t2=−92/17, with the latter not being acceptable. So, we have a+b=4 and ab=4 , and therefore a=b=2.
