- yes.w is a whole number
3w is an odd number implies 3w=2n+1
2w is an even number implies 2w=2n means w=n
put w=n in 3w=2n+1 then we will get w=1
so w is a whole number.. - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(13) No(0)
- yes w is a whole number
let us take a very simple example
and let us assume w=1
therefore
3(w)=3(1)=3 which is an odd number
2(w)=2(1)=2 which is an even number
thus the condition is true for 1 which is a whole number
therefore w is a whole number - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(1)

- Yes, it is a whole number.
Because if it is a negative number then we cannot divide the number to be positive or negative.
Hence it is positive.
If it is a fraction, then when it is multiplied by 2 and 3, it should result in a non-fraction to determine it to be a even or odd.
Hence it cannot be fraction.
Hence it should be a whole number. - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
