Finding a Linear Equation With n solutions.

53 Views Asked by At

The goal is to find an integer $m$ and a linear equation in $\mod m$ such that there are three solutions. My thought is that I would want $m = 3$, but I don't know where to go from here. Tips or an example with a different number of solutions would be appreciated.

$$0x=0\mod 3,$$

solve for $x$.

If you want something a little more "non-trivial", you could write:

$$4x=7x\mod 3.$$
