Algebra.Com's Answer #364957 by richard1234(7193)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 19a + 47b = 1000\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Solving for a,\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We want 1000-47b to be congruent to 0 mod 19. Since 1000 is 12 mod 19, 47b must be 12 mod 19. Also, 47 is congruent to 9 (mod 19), so we have\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If b = 14, then 9b = 126 which is 12 mod 19, so this works. Hence 47b = 47*14 = 658, 19*18 = 342. If you know Diophantine equations you can use this solution to generate infinitely many solutions. \n" ); document.write( " |
