Diophantine Equations (another)

$begingroup$


I have the following equation



$756x+630y = 2394$



and i am trying to find the general solution to it. I have done these type of questions numerous times and had no difficulty but I cant seem to do this.



What I have so far is



$756x+630y=2394$



$756-1(630)=126$



$630-5(126)=0$



I tried using the technique roll back but it dosent work.

    The usual method is to apply the extended Euclidean algorithm to $756$ and $630$.

What your calculation shows is that $126$ is the greatest common divisor of $756$ and $630$ and that $756-630=126$ and $6times630-5times756=0$. Since $2394/126=19$ is not fractional, we can solve the equation. $19(756-630)+k(6times630-5times756)=2394$.



Note that $6times630-5times756=0$ comes from substituting $756-630=126$ into $630-5times126=0$.

$begingroup$

You can divide all by $$126$$ and you have to solve $$6x+5y=19$$
and then you can write $$y=4-x-frac{1+x}{5}$$
Substitute $$frac{1+x}{5}=t$$ we get $$x=5t-1,y=5-6t$$

$begingroup$

If x= 1 and y= 1 then 6x+ 5y= 1. So if x= 19 and y= -19, 6x+ 5y= 19. But x= 19- 5k, y= -19+ 6k is also a solution: 6(19- 5k)+ 5(-19+ 6k)= 6(19)- 6(5)k- 5(19)+ 5(6)k= 114-95= 19 for all k.
