Step 1
the given congruence equation is 2x3(mod5)
the general congruence equation is axb(modc)
d=gcd(a,c)=gcd(2,5)=1
therefore, the equation has 1 solution
2(1)2!3(mod5)
2(2)4!3(mod5)
2(3)1!3(mod5)
2(4)3(mod5)
therefore, the solution is x=4
Step 2
the solution of the given congruence equation is x=4
