So then we have 19x=141+180n. Take this mod 19 and we get 9n+8≡0mod19or 9n≡11≡144mod19. Divide both sides by 9 to getn≡16mod19. So we taken=16.So then19x=141+180∗16⇒x=159.
I saw this explanation somewhere and I am having trouble figuring out how they went from the first thing in latex to the second. It seems like they took the mod19 of both sides and then did something else.
