y=4−(3/5)x ⇒ (x=0∧y=4)∨(x=5∧y=1)

$${y}=\mathrm{4}−\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{5}}{x}\:\Rightarrow\:\left({x}=\mathrm{0}\wedge{y}=\mathrm{4}\right)\vee\left({x}=\mathrm{5}\wedge{y}=\mathrm{1}\right) \\ $$

it′s obvious for x, y ∈N, no special method  needed.  3x+5y=20 ⇔ y=4−(3/5)x ⇒  ⇒ x=5n ⇒ y=4−3n ⇒ n=0∨n=1

$$\mathrm{it}'\mathrm{s}\:\mathrm{obvious}\:\mathrm{for}\:{x},\:{y}\:\in\mathbb{N},\:\mathrm{no}\:\mathrm{special}\:\mathrm{method} \\ $$$$\mathrm{needed}. \\ $$$$\mathrm{3}{x}+\mathrm{5}{y}=\mathrm{20}\:\Leftrightarrow\:{y}=\mathrm{4}−\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{5}}{x}\:\Rightarrow \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:{x}=\mathrm{5}{n}\:\Rightarrow\:{y}=\mathrm{4}−\mathrm{3}{n}\:\Rightarrow\:{n}=\mathrm{0}\vee{n}=\mathrm{1} \\ $$

we consider congruence modulo3  e ⇒3^. x^.  +5^. y^.  =(20)^.  ⇒  0+2^. y^. =2^.   ⇒y^. =1^.  ⇒y=3k+1  3x=20−5y =20−5(3k+1)  =15−15k   (k∈Z)  rememeber thst Z/3Z  est un corps

3x=15−15k ⇒x=5−5k  the set of solution is  {(5−5k,1+3k)}  another way  on a (5,1) is special solution  because 3×5+5.1=20 we have  3x+5y=20 and 3.5+5.1=20 ⇒  3(x−1)+5(y−1)=0 ⇒  3(x−1)=5(1−y) ⇒  3divide5(1−y) but Δ(3,5)=1  bizout ⇒3/1−y ⇒1−y=3k ⇒  y=−3k+1  5/3(x−1)⇒5/x−1 ⇒x=5k+1

$$\mathrm{3}{x}=\mathrm{15}−\mathrm{15}{k}\:\Rightarrow{x}=\mathrm{5}−\mathrm{5}{k} \\ $$$${the}\:{set}\:{of}\:{solution}\:{is} \\ $$$$\left\{\left(\mathrm{5}−\mathrm{5}{k},\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{3}{k}\right)\right\} \\ $$$${another}\:{way} \\ $$$${on}\:{a}\:\left(\mathrm{5},\mathrm{1}\right)\:{is}\:{special}\:{solution} \\ $$$${because}\:\mathrm{3}×\mathrm{5}+\mathrm{5}.\mathrm{1}=\mathrm{20}\:{we}\:{have} \\ $$$$\mathrm{3}{x}+\mathrm{5}{y}=\mathrm{20}\:{and}\:\mathrm{3}.\mathrm{5}+\mathrm{5}.\mathrm{1}=\mathrm{20}\:\Rightarrow \\ $$$$\mathrm{3}\left({x}−\mathrm{1}\right)+\mathrm{5}\left({y}−\mathrm{1}\right)=\mathrm{0}\:\Rightarrow \\ $$$$\mathrm{3}\left({x}−\mathrm{1}\right)=\mathrm{5}\left(\mathrm{1}−{y}\right)\:\Rightarrow \\ $$$$\mathrm{3}{divide}\mathrm{5}\left(\mathrm{1}−{y}\right)\:{but}\:\Delta\left(\mathrm{3},\mathrm{5}\right)=\mathrm{1} \\ $$$${bizout}\:\Rightarrow\mathrm{3}/\mathrm{1}−{y}\:\Rightarrow\mathrm{1}−{y}=\mathrm{3}{k}\:\Rightarrow \\ $$$${y}=−\mathrm{3}{k}+\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\mathrm{5}/\mathrm{3}\left({x}−\mathrm{1}\right)\Rightarrow\mathrm{5}/{x}−\mathrm{1}\:\Rightarrow{x}=\mathrm{5}{k}+\mathrm{1} \\ $$
