3\equiv3\mod{20}
3^2\equiv9\mod{20}
3^3\equiv27\equiv7\mod{20}
3^4\equiv3\cdot3^3\equiv3\cdot7\equiv21\equiv1\mod{20}

7\equiv7\mod{20}
7^2\equiv49\equiv9\mod{20}
7^3\equiv7\cdot7^2\equiv63\equiv3\mod{20}
7^4\equiv7\cdot7^3\equiv21\equiv1\mod{20}

9\equiv9\mod{20}
9^2\equiv3^4\equiv1\mod{20}

11\equiv11\mod{20}
11^2\equiv121\equiv1\mod{20}

13\equiv-7\equiv13\mod{20}
13^2\equiv169\equiv9\mod{20}
13^3\equiv13\cdot13^2\equiv(-7)9\equiv-63\equiv-3\mod{20}
13^4\equiv13\cdot13^3\equiv(-7)(-3)\equiv21\equiv1\mod{20}

17\equiv-3\equiv17\mod{20}
17^2\equiv(-3)^2\equiv9\mod{20}
17^3\equiv(-3)^3\equiv-27\equiv3\mod{20}
17^4\equiv(-3)^4\equiv81\equiv1\mod{20}

19\equiv-1\equiv19\mod{20}
19^2\equiv19(-1)\equiv-19\equiv1\mod{20}

Generally speaking, a number x coprime to n will be a primitive root of n if we have x^n\equiv x\mod{n}, or x^{n-1}\equiv1\mod{n}. In other words, if x is of order n-1 modulo n, then x is a primitive root of n.

Since none of these numbers has order 19, it follows that 20 does not have any primitive roots.

I will mark as brainliest whoever gets this question
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

This is true

Step-by-step explanation:

Take for example 10=5x, you would divide both sides by 5 without changing anything to the equation.

In a case like 5=0x, you can't divide both sides by 0, so the solution is undefined.
