Solution
\[\text{ It is given that }\overline{{18x71}}\text{ is a multiple of 3}. \]
\[ \therefore (1 + 8 + x + 7 + 1)\text{ is a multiple of 3} . \]
\[ \therefore (17 + x)\text{ is a multiple of 3 }. \]
\[ \therefore 17 + x = 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21 . . . \]
\[\text{ But x is a digit . So, x can take values }0, 1, 2, 3, 4 . . . 9 . \]
\[17 + x = 18 \Rightarrow x = 1\]
\[17 + x = 21 \Rightarrow x = 4\]
\[17 + x = 24 \Rightarrow x = 7\]
\[x = 1, 4, 7\]

If 24x is a multiple of 3, where x is a digit, what is the value of x?
(Since 24x is a multiple of 3, its sum of digits 6 + x is a multiple of 3; so 6 + x is one of these numbers: 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18…. But since x is a digit, it can only be that 6 + x = 6 or 9 or 12 or 15. Therefore, x = 0 or 3 or 6 or 9. Thus, x can have any of four different values)
