x^4 - y^3 = 17 can be expressed as: x^4 = y^3 + 17
Plug: 3x^4 + 5y^3 = 53
3(y^3 + 17) + 5y^3 = 53
3y^3 + 51 + 5y^3 = 53
8y^3 = 2
y^3 = 1/4
y = 4^(2/3)/4
Plug:
x^4 - y^3 = 17
x^4 - (4^(2/3)/4)^3 = 17
x^4 - 1/4 = 68/4
x^4 = 67/4
x = +- 67^(1/4)4^(3/4)/4
P(67^(1/4)4^(3/4)/4,4^(2/3)/4) and P(-67^(1/4)4^(3/4)/4,4^(2/3)/4)
