Congruences mod 3

46 Views Asked by At

We have the following congruences:

$a^2+2dbc \equiv 0 \mod 3$

$b^2+2ac \equiv 0 \mod 3$

$2ab+dc^2 \equiv 0 \mod 3$

where $a,b,c \in \mathbb{Z}$ and $d$ is a square free integer that is not divisible by $3$ and $d \not \equiv \pm 1 \mod 9$.

Deduce that $a \equiv c \equiv \pm 1 \mod 3$ and $b \equiv dc \mod 3$.

I don't get why these should be solutions. Moreover $a \equiv b \equiv c \equiv 0 \mod 3$ is a solution too.
