1How many equivalence relations on a set of six elements have the property that every equivalence class contains at least two elements?2Let \(x\) and \(y\) be integers. Prove that if \(6x + 11y\) is divisible by \(31\), then \(x + 7y\) is divisible by \(31\) as well.3Prove that a natural number of the form \(4n + 1\) can be represented as a sum of two squares if and only if the number \(8n + 2\) can be represented as a sum of two squares.4Into a box, \(k\) smaller boxes are placed. Then \(k\) still smaller boxes are placed into some of the smaller boxes, each, and this procedure is repeated several times. If, at the end, \(m\) of all these …5Find all values \(a \in \mathbb{R}\) for which the equation \[ |x - a| + |a - 1| = 1 \] has two solutions, and determine those solutions.
