Original question and givens
Use the complete prime field Z_17, with prime p=17, residue labels 0 through p−1, and addition/multiplication modulo p. Nonzero inputs alone may be inverted; division by zero is never allowed. This prime-field family does not assert that every finite field has prime order or that every finite ring is a field. Nonzero a=7, b=7, c=13; solve a*x+b=c. Give (a,b,c,inverse,solution,substitution,unique?).
