The image attached shows an operation that can be represented with whole numbers, becuase there are positive and negative characters.
So, we know by given that there are +4 circles and -7 circles, and the whole can be expressed as the algebraic sum of them,
Therefore, the model can be represented by the number -3, which is the whole because is the result of the operation that represent each type of element.

5 because your dividing 10 and 2.
Let's rewrite the expression as

So, if
, you may divide both sides by
, the equation becomes
, and the only solution is
, which means that this is not an identity (an indentity is tautologically true, no matter the value of x).
If instead
, you are multiplying both sides by zero, so the equation becomes

So, it doesn't matter which value for x you choose, because you will always end up with
, which is obviously always true.
