Modular arithmetic is all about finding the remainder from long division (MOD), and the total number of times that a number goes into a division (DIV<span>).</span>
Let's solve this by creating an equation.
Let X = the second factor

What exactly is it asking for
<em><u>Correct steps are shown</u></em>
<em><u>Correct simplified expression is:</u></em>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
<em><u>Given that: Mara simplifies the expression</u></em>

<em><u>Correct steps are:</u></em>
From given,

<em><u>Use the distributive property,</u></em>
a(b + c) = ab + bc
Therefore,

Group the like terms
