mattyo Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 If 7x =0 Let x = 1Therefore 7(1) = 0Hence 7=07/7=0/71=0Did i just break math lol?

mattyo Posted October 5, 2013 Author Posted October 5, 2013 If 7x=0 then x can be anything and it has to equal zero
mattyo Posted October 5, 2013 Author Posted October 5, 2013 x = 0 yeah youre right, 0=1 therefore x=1 n_n
Swizzbeat Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 Not sure where you're getting the idea that if you somehow got an equation of 7=0 you could just divide both sides by 7... And you'd have to solve for x, not put a random number in...
Superman Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 Maybe you should take some more math classes. 1
jij Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 No, because the equation doesn't work. If x = 1 then it both sides are not equal therefor the equal sign actually should be an inequality sign, it's not an equation and 7 =! 0
