Hey, I made the full analysis of the problem, which means that I solved it to the end.

When I completed it, I found out that the problem has no solution in integer numbers.

It means that the problem is a FAKE (and that I spent my time for nothing).

In other words, you *** stole *** my time.

So, I write it to let to know to the next generations of students, who may
read it from the archive, and to all other tutors in order for they do not spend their time for nothing trying to solve it.

And specially for you, my dear visitor, I want to say that EITHER the person who created this problem
is ABSOLUTELY UNPROFESSIONAL or the problem is recovered from a GARBAGE BIN somewhere
in boundless spaciousness of the Internet, what I observe here at this forum practically every day.
