confirm solution to equation in finite field

84 Views Asked by At

enter image description here

so solving i get: $$ dx+c+d = a$$

$$dx+d=a-c$$

$$dx+d=c$$

$$dx=c-d$$

$$\frac{dx}{d} = \frac{c-d}{d}$$ $$x=c$$

Check: $d \cdot c + c +d = a$

$b +c+d =a$

$d+d = a$ so it works :)

iv only just started learning finite sets in discrete math and im having trouble with it so can someone please let me know if this is correct, i think it is but i just want some clarification.

-thanks

To ensure that you get full marks, I'd suggest writing what the identity under each operation is, and being clear about what the additive inverse is, when you make use of it. You are indeed correct.
