Find all the whole values of a for which the solution of the equation ax = 6 is a whole number.

1, 2, 3, 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is,

We need to to find all the whole values of a for which the solution of the equation i.e x will be a whole number.

We know that when a number is divided by one of its factor it leaves a remainder of 0 or the result we get is a whole number.

That is why, we need a as one of the factors of 6, i.e 1, 2, 3, 6 in order to get x as a whole number.

logv3(x+2)=1

rewrite in exponential form:

logb(x) = y is equal to b^y =x

b = 3, y = 1

now solve for x:

3^1 = x+2)

x = 3-2

x = 1
