Hi there :) Answer is not 9, as 24 is not a multiple of 9.

Question says 24 is a multiple of x. Conversely, this means that x is a factor of 24.

Factors of 24: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12

Question also says that 3 is a factor of x. Conversely, this means that x is a multiple of 3.

Out of the above factors of 24, only 3, 6 and 12 are multiples of 3.

So the possible values are 3, 6 and 12.

24 also.

24 is technically the very first multiple of 24.
