Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

prove : 25^9 + 5^7 ≡ 0 ( mod 30) or 5^18 + 5^7 ≡ 0 ( mod 30)

because : 25= 5²

calculate 5^p   for 1 ; 2;3 ; 4....

5^1  ≡ 5 ( mod 30)

5^2  ≡ 25 ( mod 30)

5^3  ≡ 5 ( mod 30)

5^4  ≡ 25 ( mod 30)

p = 2k+1   5^p ≡ 5 ( mod 30)

p = 2k    5^p ≡ 25 ( mod 30)

so : 5^18 ≡ 25 ( mod 30)  ......(*)

    5^7 ≡ 5 ( mod 30)...........(**)

add (*) and (**) :5^18 + 5^7 ≡ 0 ( mod 30) because : 30≡0 (mod30)
