Linear equation with two unknowns

42 Views Asked by At

Why the indeterminate equation, which has coprime coefficients, gives the same solution when we set the value of one variable to equal the value of the other variable? I will clear it with an example: For instance, we have $$43x+47y=450$$ Now we put $x=y$.

Then $$43x+47x=450$$ Or, $$90x=450$$ Or $x=5$ Hence $x=y=5$ is a solution.
