x+y=120_______1

x=4*y_________2

x=4y

substitute 4y for x in equation 1

`4y+y=120

5y=120

eliminate the coefficient of y

y=120/5

y=24

now,input 24 for y in equation 2

`x=4y

x=4*24

x=96

thus, the numbers are

96 and 24

Find all the square roots of x2 ≡ 53 (mod 77)

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

$x=\pm\sqrt{77n+53}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an equivalence equation $x^2\equiv 53\text{ (mod } 77)$ . We are asked to find all the square root of the given equivalence equation.

Upon converting our given equivalence equation into an equation, we will get:

$x^2-53=77n$

Add 53 on both sides:

$x^2-53+53=77n+53$

$x^2=77n+53$

Take square root of both sides:

$x=\pm\sqrt{77n+53}$

Therefore, the square root for our given equation would be $x=\pm\sqrt{77n+53}$ .
