OIMU 2010 Problem 3

    A student adds up rational fractions incorrectly:

    ab+xy=a+xb+y(⋆)\frac{a}{b}+\frac{x}{y}=\frac{a+x}{b+y} (\star)

    Despite that, he sometimes obtains correct results. For a given fraction ab,a,b∈Z,b>0\frac{a}{b},a,b\in\mathbb{Z},b>0 , find all fractions xy,x,y∈Z,y>0\frac{x}{y},x,y\in\mathbb{Z},y>0 such that the result obtained by (⋆)(\star) is correct.
