Re: Simple one

ans is a=3


to solve it easily

remember a number is divisible by 9 if the sumof its digits is divisible by 9.

here number is

7a1a4

7+1+4=12

12+2a should be equal to 18

2a=6
therefore a=3

bye

Re: Simple one

Yeps. The answer is right. a=3. Just substitute the value and divide y 9, you'll see that it is divisible by 9.

73134/9 = 8126.
