    The problem asks to show that if a and b are integers where 3 divides a or 3 divides b, then 3 must also divide a^2 + b^2. To solve this, note that since 3 is a prime number, if it divides a or b then it must also divide any linear combination of a and b with integer coefficients, in particular a^2 + b^2.
