Which of the first 10 natural numbers is NOT a solution of 5x−1≠9 ?(1 point)

1 answer

To find the natural numbers that are not solutions of 5x - 1 ≠ 9, we can solve the equation to find the values that are solutions and then identify the ones that are not.

5x - 1 ≠ 9

Adding 1 to both sides of the equation:

5x ≠ 10

Dividing both sides of the equation by 5:

x ≠ 2

Since x cannot be equal to 2, the natural number 2 is not a solution of the equation 5x - 1 ≠ 9.

Therefore, the natural number that is NOT a solution of the equation is 2.
