You should be able to solve this?
x - 7 = 14 + x

Question

You should be able to solve this?
x - 7 = 14 + x

hero · Answer

You can't solve it unless it has a solution.

^tautology.

inkyvoyd · Answer

Argos, what led you to that conclusion?

inkyvoyd · Answer

ChmE, what led you to that conclusion?

anonymous · Answer

it's 21x

hero · Answer

lol, no it's not

inkyvoyd · Answer

@woahitsmaddie , what led you to that conclusion?


Guys, please back up final answers with the work needed to obtain them.

anonymous · Answer

lol,,, yes it is

hero · Answer

I'm not going to provide any work, because the work would be pointless. Clearly there is no solution.

inkyvoyd · Answer

Clearly there is.

hero · Answer

Okay @inkyvoyd, if you prefer

x - 7 = 14 + x
x - x = 14 + 7
      0 = 21 <-----False (No solution)

inkyvoyd · Answer

Exactly. THe solution (to the problem) is that there is no solution to the problem. it is inconsistence LOL

hero · Answer

Saying that no solution is a solution is a outright contradiction

anonymous · Answer

your problem was
x-7=14+x... so you would get the x values to one side, by subtracting or adding, then you would add 7 over because it was originally a negative... finally when you add those two together you get 21x, because the x was to the right of the 14 originally
x-7=14+x
-7=14x
21x

inkyvoyd · Answer

no, solution and solution are different. I am referring to two different solutions.

shubhamsrg · Answer

actually,
the unreal solution would be
x= infinity

shubhamsrg · Answer

the 2 lines are parallel, the theory says the lines intersect at infinity
the above can also be understood if you take the ratio of heights with x->inf
ratio comes out to be 1

kudos! ^_^

hero · Answer

No bro, lines extend infinitely and if they are parallel, they never intersect. There's no such thing as lines connecting at infinity. The only way you can say that is if you've been to infinity. No one has, so no one can make such a claim.

shubhamsrg · Answer

as i said, thats just a theory
what i mean is

lim x-> inf (x-7)/(14+x) 
thats ofcorse 1

limits is all theoretical !

shubhamsrg · Answer

suppose we are checking continuity at x->0
we can not reach the next number to 0 ofcorse,
but still, it can be theoretically calculated.

anonymous · Answer

strange question but, a solution is a value such that the equation is true.   the solution is the null set or just what @hero said, no solution

abb0t · Answer

lol. limits r so random.
