### Example Problem:
*Problem*: Solve for \( x \) in the equation \( 2x + 3 = 11 \).

### Expected Format:
*Step 1*: Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation.  
<thinking>Subtracting 3 from both sides should isolate the term with \( x \). Am I confident this is the correct first step? Yes, because it simplifies the equation to \( 2x = 8 \).</thinking>  
*Step 1 Confidence Score*: 0.85

*Step 2*: Divide both sides by 2.  
<thinking>Dividing by 2 will solve for \( x \). This is a straightforward division. Is there any reason to doubt this step? No, it should give \( x = 4 \).</thinking>  
*Step 2 Confidence Score*: 0.90

*Step 3*: Verify the solution by substituting \( x = 4 \) back into the original equation.  
<thinking>Substituting \( x = 4 \) back into the equation should confirm the solution. Does \( 2(4) + 3 = 11 \)? Yes, it does, so the solution is verified.</thinking>  
*Step 3 Confidence Score*: 1.00

Question: Find the smallest positive integer $k$ such that $3k \equiv 2 \pmod{11}$ and $5k \equiv 3 \pmod{7}$.
Answer: To find the smallest positive integer $k$ that satisfies both congruences, we can solve each congruence separately and then find the common solution.

First, solve the congruence $3k \equiv 2 \pmod{11}$:

Since $3 \cdot 4 \equiv 1 \pmod{11}$, we can multiply both sides of the congruence by 4 to get:
\[ 4 \cdot 3k \equiv 4 \cdot 2 \pmod{11} \Rightarrow k \equiv 8 \pmod{11} \]

This means that $k$ can be written as $k = 11m + 8$ for some integer $m$.

Next, solve the congruence $5k \equiv 3 \pmod{7}$:

Substitute $k = 11m + 8$ into the congruence:
\[ 5(11m + 8) \equiv 3 \pmod{7} \Rightarrow 55m + 40 \equiv 3 \pmod{7} \Rightarrow 6m + 5 \equiv 3 \pmod{7} \Rightarrow 6m \equiv -2 \pmod{7} \]

Since $6 \cdot 6 \equiv 1 \pmod{7}$, we can multiply both sides of the congruence by 6 to get:
\[ 6 \cdot 6m \equiv 6 \cdot (-2) \pmod{7} \Rightarrow m \equiv -12 \equiv 2 \pmod{7} \]

This means that $m$ can be written as $m = 7n + 2$ for some integer $n$.

Now substitute $m = 7n + 2$ back into $k = 11m + 8$:
\[ k = 11(7n + 2) + 8 = 77n + 22 + 8 = 77n + 30 \]

We want to find the smallest positive integer $k$, so we can try different values of $n$ to find the smallest $k$.

For $n = 0$, we get $k = 30$, which is the smallest positive integer that satisfies both congruences.

Therefore, the smallest positive integer $k$ is:
\[ k = \boxed{30} \]
