Let Q be a nondegenerate quadratic form, and L is a nonzero linear form of dimension d>3. As a generalization of the Oppenheim conjecture, we prove that the set {(Q(x),L(x)):x\in Z^d} is dense in R^2 provided that Q and L satisfy some natural conditions. The proof uses dynamics on homogeneous spaces of Lie groups.
