It does not even have real solutions let alone integer ones. Are you question reads this way?

Let us compare the given eqn. with that of the eqn. of conics -- i.e. ,
with the eqn. ax2 + 2hxy + by2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0
We get a = 3 , h = -1 , b = 7 , g =0 , f= 0 , c= 0.
Here , abc + 2fgh -af2 - bg2 - ch2 = 0
So this a degenrate conic .
Now , from the property of degenerate conics , if
ab - h2 >0 ,
then the eqn. gives only a real point.
Here ab - h2 = 7 x 3 - (-1)2 > 0
Hence , the eqn. represents only a real point , or in other words , only a real solution.
To find that point , let us take the partial derivatives .
Partial derivative w.r.t x gives , 6x - 2y = 0 ----------- first equation
and partial derivative w.r.t y gives , 14y - 2x = 0 ------------------- second equation
So we get x = y / 3 from the first equation , and x = 7y from the second eqn .
these have one and only one unique solution ------ x = 0 , y = 0
Hence the given eqn. has only one unique solution -- x = 0 , y = 0 .
