If [3(230+ x)) = 492a04, then a + x is

​

Answer 1

3(230+x) = 492a04

This means 492a04 is a multiple of 3

This can only possible when

4+9+2+a+0+4 is divisible by 3 (Divisibility rule)

4+9+2+a+0+4 = 19 + a

Possible values of a are 2,5,8

Taking a=2

We get ,

230+x = 492204/3

230+ x = 164068

x = 163838

a + x =163840

Taking a = 5

We get

a+x = 163943

Taking a=8

We get

a+x = 164046
