Let

and perhaps
p and q can be positive integers. We will see.
Factor the left side:
If those expressions in parentheses can be positive integers,
they can only be the unequal pair of factors of 9, which are
1 and 9. The p-q² is smaller, so it would be 1 and p+q² is
larger so it would be 9:
,
Add the equations:
Subtract the equations:
So we now see that p and q can be positive integers.
