Solve the following systems of simultaneous congruences: { 2x 5 mod 27 x 5 mod 84 4x 57 mod 63Solution
2x=5 mod 27
MUltiply both sides by 14 gives
28x=70 mod 27
x=16 mod 27
x=5 mod 84
4x=57 mod 63
MUltiplying both sides by 16 gives
64x=57*16=-6*16=-96=-33=30
x=30 mod 63
x=16 mod 27
x=5 mod 84
x=30 mod 63
But 63=7*9
So,
x=30 mod 63
So,
x=3 mod 9
x=16 mod 27
Hence, x=16 mod 9
Hence, x=7 mod 9
But we just found,
x=2 mod 9
SO no solution exists.
