[Community Question] Algebra-Precalculus: How to find the integer solution for $6x + 25 = 7y$?

One of our user asked:

When I type this equation ($6x + 25 = 7y$) into WolframAlpha, it is able to tell me that the integer solution for this equation is:

$x = 7n + 4$, $y = 6n + 7$, where n in the set of all integers

How can I arrive at this solution on my own?

[Community Question] Calculus: calculating 2 constants in a function

One of our user asked: $$M=\{f\in C[0,2\pi],\int_{0}^{2\pi}f(x)sinxdx=\pi,\int_{0}^{2\pi}f(x)sin2xdx=2\pi\} $$ $a,b\in \mathbb R, g\in M, g(x)=asinx+bsin2x,x\in [0,2\pi]$ I've read on the answers that $a=1,b=2$ and I don't know how to calculate them. Can somebody explain me,please? By the way, the problem is to determine $ \int_{0}^{2\pi}(g(x))^2 dx$ so you have to first get the constants $a$ and $b$ .

Here is the solution: But I could not understand how the last term in the fourth line came from the line before it, could anyone explain this for me please?
