The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the possible values of the digit \( x \) in the number \( 67x19 \) such that it is a multiple of 11, we will use the divisibility rule for 11. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding the divisibility rule for 11**: A number is divisible by 11 if the difference between the sum of its digits in odd positions and the sum of its digits in even positions is either 0 or a multiple of 11. 2. **Identifying the positions of the digits**: For the number \( 67x19 \): - Odd positions: \( 6 \) (1st), \( x \) (3rd), \( 9 \) (5th) - Even positions: \( 7 \) (2nd), \( 1 \) (4th) 3. **Calculating the sums**: - Sum of digits in odd positions: \( 6 + x + 9 = x + 15 \) - Sum of digits in even positions: \( 7 + 1 = 8 \) 4. **Setting up the equation**: According to the divisibility rule: \[ |(x + 15) - 8| = |x + 7| \] This difference must be a multiple of 11. 5. **Finding possible values of \( x \)**: We need to check for values of \( x \) from 0 to 9: - \( |x + 7| = 0 \) or \( |x + 7| = 11 \) **Case 1**: \( x + 7 = 0 \) - \( x = -7 \) (not valid since \( x \) must be a digit) **Case 2**: \( x + 7 = 11 \) - \( x = 4 \) (valid digit) **Case 3**: \( x + 7 = -11 \) - \( x = -18 \) (not valid) **Case 4**: \( x + 7 = 11 \) (considering negative) - \( x = 4 \) (already found) **Case 5**: \( x + 7 = 0 \) (considering negative) - \( x = -7 \) (not valid) 6. **Verifying the found value**: We only found \( x = 4 \). Now we need to check if \( 67x19 \) is divisible by 11 when \( x = 4 \): - The number becomes \( 67419 \). - Odd positions: \( 6 + 4 + 9 = 19 \) - Even positions: \( 7 + 1 = 8 \) - Difference: \( 19 - 8 = 11 \) (which is divisible by 11) ### Conclusion: The only possible value of the digit \( x \) such that \( 67x19 \) is a multiple of 11 is \( x = 4 \).
