Find three integer solutions to the equation 5x 4mod 3 Can y
Find three integer solutions to the equation 5x 4(mod 3). Can you find a formula for all integer solutions?
Solution
5x=4 mod 3
5=6-1
(6-1)x=4 mod 3
6x-x=3+1 mod 3
-x=1 mod 3
x=-1 mod 3
x=3m-1 , where m is any integer
This is formula for all integer solutions
Seting , m=0,1,2 we get three solutions
x=-1,2,5
