Irrational numbers are the subset of real numbers that are not at all connected to the rest of numbers.
The subsets of real numbers are natural numbers, whole numbers, integers, rational numbers and irrational numbers.
Natural numbers are subset of whole numbers, which are subset of integers, which are subset of rational numbers. Hence, all of them are interconnected. The set of irrational numbers is the only subset of real numbers which is not associated with the rest.
For example:-
1 is a natural number, whole number, integer, rational number but not irrational number. On the other hand, is an irrational number but none of the rest.

Answer:
2 solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
I like to use a graphing calculator to find solutions for equations like these. The two solutions are ...
- x = 1
- x = 4

To solve this algebraically, it is convenient to subtract 2x-7 from both sides of the equation:
3x(x -4) +5 -x -(2x -7) = 0
3x^2 -12x +5 -x -2x +7 = 0 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
3x^2 -15x +12 = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms
3(x -1)(x -4) = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . factor
The values of x that make these factors zero are x=1 and x=4. These are the solutions to the equation. There are two solutions.

Once you get to the quadratic form, you can find the number of solutions without actually finding the solutions. The discriminant is ...
d = b^2 -4ac . . . . where a, b, c are the coefficients in the form ax^2+bx+c
d = (-15)^2 -4(3)(12) = 225 -144 = 81
This positive value means the equation has 2 real solutions.
