Hint for Section 3.9 Question 3

3. First apply the Euclidean Algorithm to 115 and 35 to find gcd(115, 35).

115

=

35 · 3 + 10
35 = 10 · 3 + 5
10 = 5 · 2 + 0

Thus, gcd(115, 35) = 5. Does a solution exist to the linear Diophantine equation 115x + 35y = 11?

If no solution exists then you are finished the question.
If a solution does exist, then work backwards through the equations of the Euclidean Algorithm to find a solution.
