Question

give three solutions of the equation 3x-8y=27​

Answer 1

3x - 8y = 27

3x = 27 + 8y

x = 27 + 8y / 3

Case I -

let y = 0,

x = 27 + 8 × 0

3

x = 27 => 9

3

hence, (9, 0) is a solution.

Case II -

Same,

let y = 3,

x = 17

solution will be (17, 3)

Case III -

let y = -3,

x = 3

solution will be (3, -3)

Therefore 3 solutions for given equation are:

(9, 0), (17, 3), (3, -3)

Hope this helps you
