a + b = a + (39 - 3a)/(5a + 1), where a is any number, except -⅕. Nowhere in the thumbnail did it specify that a and b have to be integers. If they must be integers, then there are 5 solutions, where a equals -20, -2, 0, 1, 2 or 13, while b equals -1, -5, 39, 6, 3 or zero, respectively.

I think we can set up the equation as b(5a+1)+3/5(5a+1-1)=39 (b+3/5)(5a+1)-3/5=39 multiply by 5 so (5b+3)(5a+1)=195+3 (5b+3)(5a+1)=198 Now if a and b are integers we can get a few pairs of solutions, as 198=2*99=2*3*33=2*3^2*11 (a,b)€{(0,39)from1*198,(-20,-1) from -99*-2,(13,0) from 66*3,(-2,-5) from -9*-22,(2,3) from 11*18,(1,6) from 6*33}
(−20,−1), (−2,−5), (0, 39), (1, 6), (2, 3), and (13, 0) are the only integral solution. I suggest rewriting as a rational function to see that you have a minimal set of values to choose from. A visual, even a rough one, often offers insight.

I think we can set up the equation as
b(5a+1)+3/5(5a+1-1)=39
(b+3/5)(5a+1)-3/5=39 multiply by 5 so
(5b+3)(5a+1)=195+3
(5b+3)(5a+1)=198
Now if a and b are integers we can get a few pairs of solutions, as 198=2*99=2*3*33=2*3^2*11
(a,b)€{(0,39)from1*198,(-20,-1) from -99*-2,(13,0) from 66*3,(-2,-5) from -9*-22,(2,3) from 11*18,(1,6) from 6*33}
You forgot:
a = 2, b = 3
a=2, b = 3. So a+b = 5.
You forgot (1,6); (-2,-5) and (-20,-1).
a+b=(39-b)/(3+5b)+b...b=6(a=1),b=3(a=2),b=0(a=13),b=-1(a=-20),b=-5(a=-2)

You said integral. You meant integer.
Very cool!
@@Taric25 Integral solutions refer to solutions of equations that are integers.
@@ronbannon Integral solutions are solutions of definite or indefinite integrals. Claiming otherwise introduces ambiguity.

Yep! You're right! 😅
3a•5+5ab•5+b•5=39•5
(5a+1)(5b+3)=195+3=198=2•99

5a+1=6,5b+3=33
5a+1=1,5b+3=198
5a+1=66,5b+3=3
Third Method (trial and error)
3 a + 5 a b + b = 39
a (3+5 b) = 39 - b
a = (39 - b)/(3+5 b)

6 33/33 = 1 // No need for further checks, all results will be < 1

39 0/?? = 0
Final results of (a,b) = { (0,39), (1,6), (2,3), (13,0) }
3a,39 are multiples of 3
So b=0,3,6,9,..
a=39,2,1, fractions
So (a,b)=(39,0),(2,3),(1,6)
For b=-3,-6,-9,
a=fractions.
There are3 pairs of integer solutions.
I liked it, and I liked the use of mod to examine factors of 198. Thank you!
You're welcome! 😊
problem
3a + 5ab + b = 39
a+b = ?
Factored into
(5 a + 1) (5 b + 3) = 198
= 11 • 18
= 6 • 33
Got
(a, b) ∈ { (2, 3), (1, 6) }
answer
a+ b ∈ { 5, 7 }
If you're going to "solve" it by trying all the possibilities, you could just write a short piece of program code.
Can you do that for me? 😁
5, 7, 13, 39. What a headache!
RHS is 195, not 198.
"put a little 1 here"
I pretty sure that it was a normal 1 😅
😄

a + b = a + (39 - 3a)/(5a + 1), where a is any number, except -⅕. Nowhere in the thumbnail did it specify that a and b have to be integers.
