Find all positive integers n such that 12n-119 and 75n-539 are both perfect squares. Let N be the sum of all possible values of n. Find N.

Let 75n - 539 = l^2 and 12n - 119 = k^2 . where n is a natural number. Multiply 75n - 539 = l^2 by 4 to give 300n - 2156 =4l^2 and 12n - 119 = k^2 by 25 to give 300n - 2975 = 25k^2. Subtract the two new expr...
