Original question and givens

Over Q, ax+b=0 is linear only for a≠0; a=0 is a degenerate constant equation. a=7≠0, b=-6, ordered offsets=[0/1, 7/2, -6/3]. Give (root, three root+offset candidates, original residuals, equation-eligibility mask). Use exact reduced fractions with positive denominators, retaining /1 for integers.

  • G001 — Over Q, ax+b=0 is linear only for a≠0; a=0 is a degenerate constant equation. a=7≠0, b=-6, ordered offsets=[0/1, 7/2, -6/3]. Give (root, three root+offset candidates, original residuals, equation-eligibility mask). Use exact reduced fractions with positive denominators, retaining /1 for integers.

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.
