A and B are in relation to each other. Solution elements A and B are infinite.

You can find some whole numbered pairs of A and B. Be sure .
A=6 is one example which should work.
Try 9 also for A, and see if that works.

----
You reported A=4 and B=12.
B=(3A)/(A-3)

Yes, that combination works. This is not the only combination that will work. You can find others.
