Homework Statement
I needed to solve this single equation with two unknowns.
199x - 98y = -5
0< x <=99
0< y <=99
I typed the equation into Wolfram Alpha and got an integer solution of:
x = 98n + 31
y = 199n +63 when n is an integer
Since I know my restriction on x and y I can conclude that my solution is:
x = 31
y = 63 when n = 0
My question is, how do I obtain that integer solution that Wolfram Alpha gave me?
[edit, changed the + to a - sign from an error Ray Vickson pointed out, thanks.]
