Since (3 + x)/12 must be an integer and x >100, we must find the smallest value of x greater than 100 that makes 3 + x a multiple of 12.BTGmoderatorDC wrote: ↑Fri Feb 03, 2023 2:57 amIf x>100, what is the smallest value of x for which (3+x)/12 is an integer.

Since (105 + 3)/12 = 108/12 = 9, 105 is the smallest possible value of x.
