One of the Preatorian's question inspired me to come up this question?

How many integer solutions are there for the equation
3X + 12Y = 146.

no solutions, because 146 is not a multiple of 4

I think this explanation is wrong because in Praet's previous question, 63 was not a multiple of 4 either but we could still find some answer for 4X+3Y=63...

3(x+4y) = 146 in which rhs is not multiple of 3. Hence no solutions
