It is almost trivial to find any number of solutions to the problem as you posted it....

Now choose any rational value you want for x and use that equation to find the corresponding value for y, which will also be rational.

I will guess that that is not the answer you were looking for. If not, then re-post the question, showing the given equation correctly.
