The incongruent solutions of a linear congruence












2












$begingroup$


My question is to do with the incongruent solutions of a linear congruence.
This is the problem:




Find all integer solutions to the linear congruence $15x equiv 36 mod 57$.




I'm able to use Euclid's algorithm, the gcd etc to solve the linear Diophantine equation and get a general solution for $x$.
I get $x=48+19t$ with $tinmathbb{Z}$.



Now I am required to express my answer as a linear congruence:
So from the above it follows that $x equiv 48 mod 19 $.



However, I don't understand the next steps and would appreciate an explanation.



Notes then go on to say "now express your answer in the same modulus as the question (i.e., $57$). If we vary $t (=-2,-1,0,1,2)$ we find solutions $10,29,48,67$. But $67equiv10 mod 57$ and thus after $10,29,48$ we get no new solutions mod 57."



My questions are to do with the statement in bold:



Why does $67equiv 10 mod 57$ imply that we would get no new solutions?
Also, why are there only $3$ incongruent solutions?



(I cooked up a sort of rough explanation, but it doesn't exactly satisfy me: $x=10,29,48,67,86$ etc depending on the value if $t$ we choose.
But as $19(3)$ every $3$ solutions from $10,29,48$ will be equivalent to adding $3(19)=57$ (or a multiple of $57$) to one of $10,29,48$ and thus all the 'new' solutions will be equivalent to the original three solutions mod $57$.)

    The residue class $48pmod{19}$ (which BTW is the same as $10pmod{19}$) splits into $57/19=3$ residue classes modulo $57$: namely, $10pmod{57}$, $29pmod{57}$, and $48pmod{57}$. The residue class $67pmod{57}$ is identical to the residue class $10pmod{57}$.
