Answer 1

Answer :

If a and b are positive integers, then the solution of the equation ax = b is always a positive integer.

◆Verification :

Let

• a = 3
• b = 9

●Putting values in the given expression :-

= ax = b

= 3 × x = 9

= 3x = 9

= x = $\dfrac{9}{3}$

= x = 3

Here, a and b both are positive integer and x also is a positive integer.

Hence Proved !!!!
