The solution of which of the following equations is neither a fraction nor an integer.
(a) 3x + 2 = 5x + 2
(b) 4x - 18 = 2
(c) 4x + 7 = x + 2
(d) 5x - 8 = x + 4
Solution:
We have to find the solution of the equation which is neither a fraction nor an integer.
Considering 3x + 2 = 5x + 2
3x - 5x = 2 - 2
-2x = 0
x = 0/-2
x = 0
Therefore, x = 0 is an integer.
Considering 4x - 18 = 2
4x = 2 + 18
4x = 20
x = 20/4
x = 5
Therefore, x = 5 is an integer.
Considering 4x + 7 = x + 2
4x - x = 2 - 7
3x = -5
x = -5/3
Therefore, x = -5/3 is neither a fraction nor an integer.
Considering 5x - 8 = x + 4
5x - x = 4 + 8
4x = 12
x = 12/4
x = 3
Therefore, x = 3 is an integer.
