Solve this quadratic form

Solve for all integers $x$ and $y$ the quadratic form $5 X² − 14 X⁢Y + 5 ⁢Y² = n$ for some integer n. I know that for some cases there are recurrence solutions, but I'm not sure how to solve these sorts of equations in general. Can someone lend help or a good in depth resource for these sorts of problems?
