I am so sorry I dont have a real strategy for this.

lets guess and check:

So 12² = 144

144/20 is

7 with a remainder of 4.

So the answer is 4.

Here’s a copy of the original question.

If \(4x\equiv 8\pmod{20}\) and \(3x\equiv 16\pmod{20}\), then what is the remainder when \(x^2\) is divided by 20?
