The correct Answer is:
To find the ones digit of \( x \) given the conditions of the problem, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the conditions We have two conditions: 1. When \( x \) is divided by 5, the remainder is 4. 2. When \( x \) is divided by 2, the remainder is 1. ### Step 2: Analyze the first condition From the first condition, \( x \div 5 \) leaves a remainder of 4. This means: \[ x = 5k + 4 \] for some integer \( k \). The possible values for \( x \) that satisfy this condition can be: - If \( k = 0 \), then \( x = 4 \) - If \( k = 1 \), then \( x = 9 \) - If \( k = 2 \), then \( x = 14 \) - If \( k = 3 \), then \( x = 19 \) - If \( k = 4 \), then \( x = 24 \) - And so on... The ones digits of these values are: 4, 9, 4, 9, 4, ... ### Step 3: Analyze the second condition From the second condition, \( x \div 2 \) leaves a remainder of 1. This means: \[ x = 2m + 1 \] for some integer \( m \). The possible values for \( x \) that satisfy this condition can be: - If \( m = 0 \), then \( x = 1 \) - If \( m = 1 \), then \( x = 3 \) - If \( m = 2 \), then \( x = 5 \) - If \( m = 3 \), then \( x = 7 \) - If \( m = 4 \), then \( x = 9 \) - If \( m = 5 \), then \( x = 11 \) - And so on... The ones digits of these values are: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 1, ... ### Step 4: Find common values Now we need to find the common ones digit from the two sets of values we derived: - From the first condition, the ones digits are: 4, 9, 4, 9, ... - From the second condition, the ones digits are: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, ... The common ones digit is **9**. ### Conclusion Thus, the ones digit of \( x \) is **9**. ---
