x  + y  = 3*x*y
$$x^{2} + y^{2} = 3 x y$$
Detail solution
Move right part of the equation to
left part with negative sign.

The equation is transformed from
$$x^{2} + y^{2} = 3 x y$$
to
$$- 3 x y + \left(x^{2} + y^{2}\right) = 0$$
This equation is of the form
a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0

A quadratic equation can be solved
using the discriminant.
The roots of the quadratic equation:
$$x_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
$$x_{2} = \frac{- \sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant.
Because
$$a = 1$$
$$b = - 3 y$$
$$c = y^{2}$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 

(-3*y)^2 - 4 * (1) * (y^2) = 5*y^2

The equation has two roots.
x1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

x2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

or
$$x_{1} = \frac{3 y}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{5} \sqrt{y^{2}}}{2}$$
$$x_{2} = \frac{3 y}{2} - \frac{\sqrt{5} \sqrt{y^{2}}}{2}$$
