Abstract
Ramsey-type problems for linear equations began with Schur's theorem and were systematically generalized by Richard Rado. In the off-diagonal framework for two colors, one considers two different linear equations and determines the minimum integer for which any red-blue coloring of forces either a red solution of the equation or a blue solution of the equation . In this work, we study off-diagonal Rado numbers for non-homogeneous linear equations of the forms and . We determine the exact two-color off-diagonal Rado number associated with this system of equations.
