Question

- Can a whole number be 5 more than another number and

Answer 1

NO, a whole number can't be 5 more than another number, & 5 times another number.

Let a whole number be = n

5 more than whole number = n + 5 ; And 5 times the whole number = 5n

Equating them , n + 5 = 5n

5n - n = 5

4n = 5

n = 5 / 4

5 / 4 is not a whole number, as it is in fractional form.

Also, 5/4 + 5 = (5 + 20) / 4 = 25 / 4

5 / 4 x 5 = 25 / 4

Both above sum & product are also in fractional form, so are not whole numbers.

Hence proven.
