Let $a$ be an integer such that $a \equiv 5 \pmod{7}$. Find the value of $a + 1 \pmod{7}$. Express your answer as a residue between $0$ and the modulus.

We have

a5(mod7)a+15+1(mod7)a+16(mod7)

 

Thus, the answer is 6. 

Testing numbers like 

5,12,19,26,33, they all satisfy the equation we are given. 

 

Thanks! :)
