Solution Preview

First, we can rewrite the system as follows.
(1) x = 5 (mod 6) is equivalent to: x = 5 (mod 2) and x = 5 (mod 3)
Then x = 1 (mod 2) and x = 2 (mod 3)
(2) x = 3 (mod 10) is equivalent to x = 3 (mod 2) and x = 3 (mod 5)
Then x = 1 (mod 2) and x = 3 (mod 5)
(3) x = 8 (mod 15) is equivalent to x = 8 (mod 3) ...
