The solutions of the diophantine equation 9 x + 4 1 y = 1 are applying Euclidean algorihtm ( x , y ) = ( − 9 + 4 1 λ , 2 − 9 λ ) with λ ∈ Z ⇒ the smallest positive value of x is − 9 + 4 1 = 3 2
Hello By method of Bash or Guess and Check , we find the answer is 3 2 (Guess and Check on 41x+1, then check if its divisible by 9, if it is, then SCORE). Thank

We have 9 2 ≡ − 1 ( m o d 4 1 ) so 9 × ( − 9 ) ≡ 9 × 3 2 ≡ 1 .
