Can anyone give me a linear equation with two variables such that values A and B must not be equal to one.

Thanks

If you're referring to standard linear form Ax+By = C, then pick any integer values you want for A and B such that they arent equal to 1. Pick anything you want for C.

For instance: A = 14, B = 7, C = 28

Ax+By = C

14x+7y = 28

--------------

If you want to solve for y, then

14x+7y = 28

7y = -14x+28

y = (-14x+28)/7

y = (-14/7)x+28/7

y = -2x+4

which is now in slope intercept form y = mx+b with m = -2 as the slope and b = 4 as the y intercept.
