Step 1
Step 2: We can solve the simultaneous congruences x ≡ 4 (mod 5) and 2x ≡ 3 (mod 7) by using the Chinese Remainder Theorem or by substitution. Step 3: To determine if 64027 is a composite number, we can check if it has any factors other than 1 and itself. Step Show more…

Arrange the steps in correct order to solve the congruence 2x ≡ 7 (mod 17) using the inverse of 2 modulo 17, which is 9. Rank the options below. 9 is an inverse of 2 modulo 17. The given equation is 2x ≡ 7 (mod 17). Multiplying both sides of the equation by 9, we get x ≡ 9 ∙ 7 (mod 17). Since 63 mod 17 = 12, the solutions are all integers congruent to 12 modulo 17, such as 12, 29, and –5.

Find all solutions to the multiple congruence x ≡ 6 mod 7, x ≡ 7 mod 8, x ≡ 8 mod 9 in the range 200 to 400. Try to solve using substitution. Also, find the solution for x ≡ 22 mod 35, x ≡ 19 mod 22, x ≡ 1 mod 14 (answer should be 547+770c).
