Would this method be wrong?
x/y -> remainder = 3
therefore y = x+3
y/z -> remainder of 8
therefore z = x+ 8
x+ 8 + x + x+ 3 = 11 + 3x - the least multiple of 3 that results in any answer is 3
therefore 3*3 + 11 = 20
How does x divided by y gives the remainder of 3 translates to y = x + 3?
How does y divided by z gives the remainder of 8 translates to z = x + 8?
