    2x dx = 3y^2 dy - 27dy

    2x dx = (3y^2 - 27) dy

    dx/dy = (3y^2 - 27) / 2x = 0 if y=3 or if y=-3

    If y = 3 the given equation is 27(1-3) = x^2-90 giving x=6 or -6, that gives two points

    (6,3) and (-6,3).

    If y =-3 the given equation is 54 = x^2-90 giving x=12 or x=-12, which gives two more points

    (12,-3) and (-12,-3)
