Which value s make x/5 a whole number?

x = 5

x = 9

x = 35

x = -175

1 answer

To determine which values of \( x \) make \( \frac{x}{5} \) a whole number, \( x \) must be a multiple of 5. Let's evaluate the provided values:

  1. \( x = 5 \) \[ \frac{5}{5} = 1 \quad \text{(whole number)} \]

  2. \( x = 9 \) \[ \frac{9}{5} = 1.8 \quad \text{(not a whole number)} \]

  3. \( x = 35 \) \[ \frac{35}{5} = 7 \quad \text{(whole number)} \]

  4. \( x = -175 \) \[ \frac{-175}{5} = -35 \quad \text{(whole number)} \]

Thus, the values that make \( \frac{x}{5} \) a whole number are:

  • \( x = 5 \)
  • \( x = 35 \)
  • \( x = -175 \)
