May 17, 2019 at 18:27 comment added alpoge Hi Prof. @LSpice! I’m was referring to the last display (in order to get rid of the denominator) but I absolutely agree! It’d have been easier to just start that way (note that q is still prime to 2p).
May 17, 2019 at 17:22 comment added LSpice @alpoge, it should be taking $r \equiv a q \pmod{2p}$, not just $r \equiv a q \pmod p$, right? Otherwise it seems there is a sign issue.

May 17, 2019 at 16:02 comment added alpoge Hey so r is a multiple of q modulo p/(p,\sigma) so replace r with aq and now it’s easy to divide the denominator into the numerator and sum the resulting geometric series.
