Question: determine all solutions to the diophantine equation 3x + 7y = 4

Answer 1

The difference between the coefficients 7 and 3 is 4, so one solution is
  y = 1, x = -1.
Then the remaining solutions will be of the form
  x = -7n-1
  y = 3n+1
for some integer n.

_____
Some of the solutions are (for n=0, -1, -2, 1, 2)
(x, y) = (-1, 1), (6, -2), (13, -5), (-8, 4), (-15, 7)
