In the following question: " Let a, b ∈ Z. Show that if a ≡ 5 (mod 6) and b ≡ 3 (mod 4), then 4a + 6b ≡ 6 (mod 8)." why do we ignore the -6 when substituting the variables of a and b, if we expand "4a + 6b ≡ 6 (mod 8)" we get (4a+6b)-6=8y, when we substitute we have to end up with the 8y right? Im just confused why the -6 is ignored?
