To find:The solution of the given equation if both the variables are whole numbers.
Answer to Problem 32WE
The solutions of the equation are
Explanation of Solution
Given information:The given equation is
The equation
Since x is a whole number, thus its value can be 0,1,2 and so on .
But since y is also a whole number
x cannot be more than 6 because then y will be a negative integer.
Now we need to check the possible solutions.
So in equation (1)
Hence the solutions of the equation are
