Here's the Solution to this Question

Answer is

{(x,y):2x+y=5,x,yZ}=(2−t,2t+1)

 Proof.

Firstly let us assume that 2x+y=5 with x,yZ.

We have y=5-2x is odd as difference odd value 5 and even value 2x.

Each odd number can be written in the form y=2\cdot t+1,\space where\\

t=\frac{y-1}{2}\in Z\space because\space y-1\space is\space even,

Therefore x=\frac{5-y}{2}=\frac{5-2t-1}{2}=\frac{4-2t}{2}=2-t .

So we have (x,y)=(2-t,\space 2t+1),\space where\space t\in Z.

Conversly, if (x,y)=(2-t,\space 2t+1),

then we have that y is odd and 2⋅(2−t)+2t+1=5 .

The domain of the equation is not the set of all integers.
