Hi Anneke,

  you don't give enough details but, assuming that the (a_i) are integral
and the (x_i) are unknown integers, have a look at ??matsolvemod.
If your problem involves a mix of integer and rational variables/data,
see ??matrixqz.

Cheers,

    K.B.

P.S. Please direct this kind of questions (beginner help) to pari-users
rather than pari-dev, which centers on the development of the system
(bug reports, patches and suggestions) and technical questions.
