A linear Diophantine equation in two variables, Ax + By = C, seeks integer solutions. Using the Extended Euclidean Algorithm helps find one solution (x₀, y₀), and the full solution set stems from x=x₀+(B/d)n, y=y₀–(A/d)n, where d=gcd(A,B). For example, 6x + 9y = 3 has infinite integer solutions once you find one. Diophantine equations appear in integer partitioning tasks, cryptography (modular arithmetic), and number theory. Mastering them fosters advanced problem-solving skills across discrete math and computational contexts.
