Question
7. A relation \( R \) on a set \( X \) is called an equivalence relation if it is symmetric, reflexive, and transitive.

(a) Show that congruence modulo \( m \) (the relation on \( \mathbb{Z} \) where we write \( x \equiv_m y \) if \( m|(x-y) \)) is an equivalence relation.

(b) Show that every partition \( P \) of a set \( X \) defines an equivalence relation \( \sim \) by declaring \( x \sim y \) if \( x \) and \( y \) are in the same partition element.
