[edit] Linear Diophantine equations theorem

Hi there. It's true that x = ( c² + 1 )/(2ac) and y = ( c² - 1 )/(2bc) are a solution to the equation ax+by=c, but the solutions of Diophantine equations are required to be integers, and in general the above solution is not integral. For example the solution to x+y = 2 given by the abover method is x = 5/4, y=3/4. In fact unless c = 1 the solution will never be an integer since c doesn't divide c²±1 for other c.

This is a perfectly good example of how Diophantine equations may have no solutions in integers even if they have infinitely many solutions in rational numbers, and it'd be better to phrase it like that on the article rather than claim the other (correct) result about solutions to the equation is wrong. Hope that helps, Chenxlee (talk) 14:08, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] A sequel to the solution of ax + by = c

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article A sequel to the solution of ax + by = c, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised.

If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of A sequel to the solution of ax + by = c.
