Question:
If j is a positive integer and the remainder when j is divided by 11 is 5, what is the remainder when 3j + 2 is divided by 11?
___________
So, its obvious that I need to find the dividend (right?) to use to find 3j + 2 / 11. But how can I find that If I don't even have the quotient?
I know the equation dividend = divisor * quotient + remainder
But with the few terms given it would come out to x = 11y + 5 which is far as I'm aware - impossible to solve.
Thanks for any help.
