For any integer $a$, $gcd(11a+5,2a+1)=1$.

$begingroup$


How would I go by proving this statement?



What I did was I tried using Proposition GCD Of One, so that



$(11a+5)x + (2a+1)y = 1$, and

$(11x+2y)a + (5x+y) = 1$.



But I have no idea what to do from here.
What can I do?

          begin{align*}
          gcd(11a + 5, 2a + 1) &= gcdBig((11a + 5) - 5(2a + 1), 2a + 1Big) \

          Hint $ $ If $,d,$ is a common factor then $,{rm mod} d!: 2a+1equiv 0equiv 11a+5.,$ Now eliminate $,a,$ by cross multiplying $ 0equiv color{#0a0}{11}(2a+1)-color{#c00}2(11a+5) equiv color{#0a0}{11}-color{#c00}{10}equiv 1 $ i.e. $,0equiv 1,,$ so $, dmid 1!-!0,,$ so $,d = 1.$



          Remark $ $ More conceptually, put the fractions for $,-a,$ over the common denominator $,22$



          $$ {rm mod} d!: frac{1}{2} equiv -a,equiv frac{5}{11} Rightarrow frac{color{#0a0}{11}}{22},equiv, frac{color{#c00}{10}}{22}qquad$$



          Note $ $ The fractions uniquely exist mod $,d,$ since $,2,11,$ are invertible, being coprime to $,d,$ (else $2mid dmid 2a+1,Rightarrow 2mid 1,,$ and $,11mid dmid 11a+5,Rightarrow, 11mid 5,)$.

          Hint $ $ If $,d,$ is a common factor then $,{rm mod} d!: 2a+1equiv 0equiv 11a+5.,$ Now eliminate $,a,$ by cross multiplying $ 0equiv color{#0a0}{11}(2a+1)-color{#c00}2(11a+5) equiv color{#0a0}{11}-color{#c00}{10}equiv 1 $ i.e. $,0equiv 1,,$ so $, dmid 1!-!0,,$ so $,d = 1.$



          Remark $ $ More conceptually, put the fractions for $,-a,$ over the common denominator $,22$



          $$ {rm mod} d!: frac{1}{2} equiv -a,equiv frac{5}{11} Rightarrow frac{color{#0a0}{11}}{22},equiv, frac{color{#c00}{10}}{22}qquad$$



          Note $ $ The fractions uniquely exist mod $,d,$ since $,2,11,$ are invertible, being coprime to $,d,$ (else $2mid dmid 2a+1,Rightarrow 2mid 1,,$ and $,11mid dmid 11a+5,Rightarrow, 11mid 5,)$.
