Question
Write an equation whose solution is not a whole number.
✓
Answer
We know that, whole numbers are $0, 1, 2, 3, …$
Now, let the one number be $x$ whose solution is not a whole number.
For getting equation, the number $x$ will be added to $1$ which results into $0$.
Then,
$x + 1 = 0$ [transposing +$1$ to $RHS$]
On solving $x = -1$
which is not a whole number.
Hence, required equation is $x + 1 = 0.$
In questions $75$ to $84,$ change the statements, converting expression into statements in ordinary language.
