Under which conditions is $gcd(a+bx,c)=1$ solvable and what is the solution?
$begingroup$
Let $a,b,cinmathbb{Z}$, $cneq0$. When is $gcd(a+bx,c)=1$ solvable and what is ${xinmathbb{Z}midgcd(a+bx,c)=1}$? A sufficient condition appears to be $gcd(a,b)=1$ but it is not necessary as $a=65$, $b=40$, $c=52$, and $x=1$ shows.

There exists $x$ with $,gcd(a+bx,c)=1iff gcd(a,b,c) = 1.,$ The direction $(Leftarrow)$ is in this answer, and $(Rightarrow)$ is clear, by $,gcd(a,b,c)mid a+bx,c,$ so also $,gcd(a+bx,c)$
