Answer:
[tex]a=1,\ 2,\ 3,\ 6.[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
A whole number is any number of a set [tex]\{0,\ 1,\ 2,\ 3,...\}[/tex]
The equation [tex]ax=6[/tex] has a solution [tex]x=\dfrac{6}{a},\ a\neq 0.[/tex]
If [tex]a=1,[/tex] then [tex]x=\dfrac{6}{1}=6[/tex] is a whole number.
If [tex]a=2,[/tex] then [tex]x=\dfrac{6}{2}=3[/tex] is a whole number.
If [tex]a=3,[/tex] then [tex]x=\dfrac{6}{3}=2[/tex] is a whole number.
If [tex]a=6,[/tex] then [tex]x=\dfrac{6}{6}=1[/tex] is a whole number.
For all other values of [tex]a[/tex] equation [tex]ax=6[/tex] will have solution that is not a whole number.
