Question

Find the value of x if 212x5 is a multiple of 3 and 11 please find out now guys HELP!

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

If the number 212x5 is a multiple of 3, the sum of the digits needs to be a multiple of 3, so we have:

2 + 1 + 2 + x + 5 = 10 + x

The value of x can be 2, 5 or 8

If the number is a multiple of 11, we have to calculate the first number minus the second, plus the third, minus the fourth... and so on, and the result needs to be a multiple of 11. So we have:

2 - 1 + 2 - x + 5 = 8 - x

x needs to be 8, so we have 8 - 8 = 0, that is a multiple of 11.

So the value of x is 8.
