My written sevens sometimes look like ones. Suppose I give someone the encoded number 7324501877 with the last two check digits included as in the example on pages 13 and 14 of how to correct a single error. This person passes it on to someone else as 1324501877. Use the method shown in the book to correct a single error to convert this received message back into a corrected message. If you need to solve an equation like 5i mod 11 =2, you can do so by just substituting values for i until you find one that works. Comment on the result that you get and explain what is happening.
