Rewrite this as x = (11 -2y)/3
Now 2y is an even number, so 11 - 2y must be an odd number. So we just look at odd numbers below 11 that are exactly divisible by 3. We quickly see that there are only two, namely 3 and 9.
When 11 - 2y = 3 we must have x = 1, so y = 4
When 11 - 2y = 9 we must have x = 3, so y = 1
