3x + 6y = 47

6y = -3x + 47

y = -3x/6 + 47/6

y = (-3x + 47)/6

Since we are looking for positive integer, 3x (x > 0) cannot be greater than 47, the possibilities of the numerator are 42, 36, 24, 18, 12, and 6, so that - 3x must be -5, -11, -23, -29, -35, and -41. Since any of them are not multiples of -3, we can not find any pair of positive integers that satisfy the equation. So x and y cannot be both positive integers.

How to make an equation equaling six or three.?

An equation never equals a number, but its solution often does.-- An equation with a solution of six: [ 3x - 14 = 4 ]-- An equation with a solution of three: [ 14 - 10x = -16 ]-- An equation with both solutions: [ x2 - 9x + 20 = 2 ]An equation that equals 6 is 10 - 4 = 6An equation that equals 3 is 10 - 7 = 3
