Let the number be ABBBC
A can be any one of 4,5, or 6
C can only be 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, subject to C > A
Finally, A+3B+C = 19

We want 19-A-C to be divisible by 3, subject to C > A, there are three possible cases to consider:
19-10 = 9
19-13 = 6
19-16 = 3
So we need to check cases where A+C = 10, A+C = 13, and A+C = 16

A+C = 10:
=========
A=4, C=6: 19-4-6 = 9 ---> B = 9/3 = 3, so 43336 is one solution

A+C = 13:
=========
A=4, C=9: 19-4-9 = 6 ---> B = 2, so 42229 is another solution
A=5, C=8: 19-5-8 = 6 ---> B = 2, so 52228 is a solution
A=6, C=7: 19-6-7 = 6 ---> B = 2, so 62227 is a solution

A+C = 16:
=========
There are no cases for A+C = 16, for even if we choose the maximum value of A, which is A=6, we find C=10 and that is not a single digit.

I think these are all of the solutions: 43336, 42229, 52228, and 62227

The number is
N x x x M
M > N
M is either 4, 5, or 6
N + M + 3x = 19
x cannot be 9
x cannot be 8
x cannot be 7
x cannot be 6
------------------------
Suppose x is 5
N + M + 3*5 = 19
N + M = 4
M must be 4 and N must be 0
The number is
05554 -cannot be
--------------------------------
Suppose x is 4
N + M + 3*4 = 19
N + M = 7
If M is 6, then N is 1
number is:
14446 -out of range
If M is 4, the N is 3 -also out of range
-----------------------------------------
Suppose x is 3
N + M + 3*3 = 19
N + M = 10
If M is 6, then N is 4
number is:
43336
the number is in range
-----------------------------
If x is 2, then
M + N + 6 = 19
M + N = 13
52228 works
62227 works
---------------------
If x is 1
M + N + 3*1 = 19
M + N = 16
this makes number out of range
( N is 10 or greater )
---------------------------------------
The possible numbers are:
43336
52228
62227
-----------
get a 2nd opinion if needed
