SUMMARY
The equation a = x^2 + 2cx + 1 and b = 2x + 3c + 3 leads to the expression a / b = 5 with a remainder of 11. The solution for c is definitively c = -10 when x = 25. There are a total of 6 integer solutions for the variables c and x, with 3 of those solutions being positive integers. The current inquiry focuses on determining the value of x when c is at its maximum.
