Since 24x is a multiple of 3, the sum of its digits is a multiple of 3. Sum of digits of 24x = 2 + 4 + x = 6 + x
Hence, 6 + x is a multiple of 3.
This is possible when 6 + x is any one of these numbers 0, 3, 6, 9, and so on … Since x is a single digit number, the sum of the digits can be 6 or 9 or 12 or 15 and thus, the value of x comes to 0 or 3 or 6 or 9 respectively.
Thus, x can have its value as any of the four different values 0, 3, 6, or 9.
