x/5-2=x/5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is the question like this? If yes, x will be cancelled.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

\[\frac x5 - 2 = \frac x5\]Like this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

hmmm i wonder if @saif has some magic tricks up his sleeve to manipulate this and make x have a value...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x/5-2=x/5 x/5 -2 -x/5 = x/5 -x/5 -2 =0 which is a contradiction Therefore, no solution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no way.....that's wrong because if you minus sth from sth, it can't be original value
