4x is even.  but when it is divided by 6 and the  remainder is 3, it means 4x must be  odd. a number can not be even and odd  at same time. therefore there is no  solution, i.e. the question is wrong.

4x=6q+3    As the left side (4x) is even, the rigth one  should be too... but   6q+3    is odd...
