Is it possible for a number to be a rational number that is not an interger but is a whole number. explain

Whole numbers are a subset of integers, which in turn are a subset of rational numbers.

So, every whole number is an integer, and every integer is a rational number.

So, it is possible for a rational number not to be an integer. Think of any decimal number: 1.356 is a rational number, but it's not an integer.

On the other hand, if a number is not an integer, it can't be a whole number, because all whole numbers are integers.

i am not sure :

step-by-step explanation:

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

4x - 6 + 6 = 4x - 6 + 6

4x = 4x

x = x
