7x≡1(mod26)?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\large \mathbb{7x \equiv 1 \mod 13*2}\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\large \mathbb{7x \equiv 1 \mod 2}\) \(\large \mathbb{7x \equiv 1 \mod 13}\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\large \mathbb{7x \equiv 1 \mod 2}\) \(\large \mathbb{\implies x \equiv 1 \mod 2}\) \(\large \mathbb{\implies x = 2k+1}\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\large \mathbb{7x \equiv 1 \mod 13}\) \(\large \implies 7(2k+1) \equiv 1 \mod 13\) \(\large \implies 14k+7 \equiv 1 \mod 13\) \(\large \implies k+7 \equiv 1 \mod 13\) \(\large \implies k \equiv 7 \mod 13\) \(\large \implies k = 13m + 7\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

substitute this \(k\) value in first equation for \(x\) : \(\large \mathbb{x = 2k+1 = 2(13m+7)+1 = 26m + 15}\) \(\large \mathbb{x \equiv 15 \mod 26} \)
