The two versions of partition regularity are equivalent. If the row is partition regular on all positive integers, pull a colouring of the even positive integers back by $n\mapsto 2n$. A monochromatic solution $\mathbf{y}$ for this pulled-back colouring gives the even solution $\mathbf{x}=2\mathbf{y}$ in the original colouring, since the equation is homogeneous.

Conversely, restrict any colouring of all positive integers to its even members. A monochromatic solution supplied by regularity on the even integers is already a valid solution in the full domain. This argument is an instance of scaling invariance of homogeneous partition regularity and does not require a new coefficient criterion.
