Every proper affine hyperplane in Rn is closed and has empty interior: a small displacement along its nonzero normal vector leaves it. The Baire category theorem therefore makes the complement of a countable collection of such hyperplanes dense. In particular, avoiding the hyperplanes ∑j=1n​kj​xj​=kn+1​ for nonzero integer tuples yields a vector for which 1,x1​,…,xn​ are linearly independent over Q. Tuples with all the first n entries zero define an empty forbidden set.
