I NEED HELP!!!

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Here, I tell you the form of the answer is 420 n+ 301 for integer n>= 0.
So, there are infinite many solutions and
the smallest positive integer solution is 301.
I will not show any explanations unless you delete all redundant nonsense
words (and repost it ) which are not related to math in the above questions.
