x x is clearly even.

x 1 3 + 2 3 + ( 2 ) 3 + ( 1 ) 3 1 3 + 2 3 2 3 1 3 0 ( m o d 5 ) x\equiv 1^3+2^3+(-2)^3+(-1)^3\equiv 1^3+2^3-2^3-1^3\equiv 0\pmod{\! 5}

x 2 3 + 3 3 + ( 3 ) 3 + ( 2 ) 3 2 3 + 3 3 3 3 2 3 0 ( m o d 7 ) x\equiv 2^3+3^3+(-3)^3+(-2)^3\equiv 2^3+3^3-3^3-2^3\equiv 0\pmod{\! 7}

2 , 5 , 7 x lcm ( 2 , 5 , 7 ) x 70 x x 0 ( m o d 70 ) 2,5,7\mid x\iff \text{lcm}(2,5,7)\mid x\iff 70\mid x\iff x\equiv 0\pmod{\! 70}

by definition: a b ( m o d m ) m a b a\equiv b\pmod{\! m}\iff m\mid a-b .
