We assume that x is a positive integer (since it is not given).
For all positive integers x , the unit's place digit of 3 x can be 1 , 3 , 7 , 9 , of 4 x can be 4 , 6 , of 5 x can be 5 , and of 6 x can be 6 . So, the unit's place digit of 3 x + 4 x + 5 x has to be 6 (since 3 , 5 are odd and 4 is even, the unit's place digit of the L. H. S. can be even only). So, the only possibility is that x = 3 (by direct check).
