When a certain interger is divided by 15, the remainder is 7.
Let's use the smallest value possible. y = 1
multiply by 15
Find the sum of the remainders if we divide the same integer by 3 and then by 5.
NO remainder here, try the next one
No remainder here either
so the sum of the remainders of the a and b equations is 0
