↓Steps Explained:↓

Plot 87x-64y=3 on the Cartesian Graph:

Slope intercept form:

Slope intercept form: y = mx + b

y = 1.359375x - 0.046875

Solve the following over the integers

87x - 64y = 3

Use Euclids Algorithm in Rewritten Form:

Calculate the GCF of (87,-64)

Diophantine Table:

#Quotient1Quotient2Remainder1Remainder2RemainderFinalRewritten
187/-64-287 - (-64 x -2)87 - 128-4187 = -2 x -64 + -41-41 = 87 - -2 x -64
2-64/-411-64 - (-41 x 1)-64 - -41-23-64 = 1 x -41 + -23-23 = -64 - 1 x -41
3-41/-231-41 - (-23 x 1)-41 - -23-18-41 = 1 x -23 + -18-18 = -41 - 1 x -23
4-23/-181-23 - (-18 x 1)-23 - -18-5-23 = 1 x -18 + -5-5 = -23 - 1 x -18
5-18/-53-18 - (-5 x 3)-18 - -15-3-18 = 3 x -5 + -3-3 = -18 - 3 x -5
6-5/-31-5 - (-3 x 1)-5 - -3-2-5 = 1 x -3 + -2-2 = -5 - 1 x -3
7-3/-21-3 - (-2 x 1)-3 - -2-1-3 = 1 x -2 + -1-1 = -3 - 1 x -2
8-2/-12-2 - (-1 x 2)-2 - -20-2 = 2 x -1 + 00 = -2 - 2 x -1

GCF (87, -64) = -1

Rearrange to solve in terms of GCF = -1

-1 = -3 - 1 x -2

Substitute our rewrite value for -2

-2 = -5 - 1 x -3

Multiply the items inside our parentheses by 1

Substitute our rewrite value for -3

-3 = -18 - 3 x -5

Multiply the items inside our parentheses by 1

Substitute our rewrite value for -5

-5 = -23 - 1 x -18

Multiply the items inside our parentheses by 3

Substitute our rewrite value for -18

-18 = -41 - 1 x -23

Multiply the items inside our parentheses by 1

Substitute our rewrite value for -23

-23 = -64 - 1 x -41

Multiply the items inside our parentheses by 1

Substitute our rewrite value for -41

-41 = 87 - -2 x -64

Multiply the items inside our parentheses by 1

Substitute our rewrite value for

87 - -2()

Multiply the items inside our parentheses by -2
