Discrete Mathematics Prove or Disprove the following stateme
(Discrete Mathematics) Prove or Disprove the following statement: For all integer x 1 there exists an integer y such that xy = 6x + y
Solution
xy = 6x + y
xy - y = 6x
y(x-1) = 6x
y = 6x/(x-1)
For all integer x, y does not exist.
For example, when x= 5, y= 15/2 which is not an integer.
So, the given statement is not true and its proved.
