![n=24p+22 n=33q+30 24p−33q=8 ⇒24p−33p+33δ=0 [let q=p−δ] ⇒33δ−9p=8 ⇒11δ−3p=(8/3) ⇒ no solution in natural no.](Q86181.png)
$${n}=\mathrm{24}{p}+\mathrm{22} \\ $$$${n}=\mathrm{33}{q}+\mathrm{30} \\ $$$$\mathrm{24}{p}−\mathrm{33}{q}=\mathrm{8} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{24}{p}−\mathrm{33}{p}+\mathrm{33}\delta=\mathrm{0}\:\:\:\left[{let}\:{q}={p}−\delta\right] \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{33}\delta−\mathrm{9}{p}=\mathrm{8} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{11}\delta−\mathrm{3}{p}=\frac{\mathrm{8}}{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:{no}\:{solution}\:{in}\:{natural}\:{no}. \\ $$
