2 x 3 − x 6 \frac{2x}{3}-\frac{x}{6} 3 2 x − 6 x
is an integer. Which of the following statements must be true about x x x ?
( A ) It is negative. ( B ) It is even, but not necessarily a multiple of 3. ( C ) It is a multiple of 3, but not necessarily even. ( D ) It is a multiple of 6, but not necessarily a multiple of 12. ( E ) It is a multiple of 12. \mathrm{(A)}\ \text{It is negative.}\\\mathrm{(B)}\ \text{It is even, but not necessarily a multiple of 3.}\\\mathrm{(C)}\ \text{It is a multiple of 3, but not necessarily even.}\\\mathrm{(D)}\ \text{It is a multiple of 6, but not necessarily a multiple of 12.}\\\mathrm{(E)}\ \text{It is a multiple of 12.} ( A ) It is negative. ( B ) It is even, but not necessarily a multiple of 3. ( C ) It is a multiple of 3, but not necessarily even. ( D ) It is a multiple of 6, but not necessarily a multiple of 12.
