Question

Write an equation whose solution is not a whole number.

Answer 1

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.
