Lastly I have read a example of some exercise. There was this statement: $$99x^2 \equiv 1 \pmod 5\quad \implies\quad (-1)x^2 \equiv 1 \pmod 5$$ Can somebody explain that simple fact to me?

Why $99x^2 \equiv 1 \mod 5 \implies (-1)x^2 \equiv 1 \mod 5$

$$99x^2\equiv_5100x^2-x^2\equiv_50-x^2\equiv_5-x^2$$
