@david334

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a cant equal 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you mean it cant equal zero?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my answer is a). What do you think, Chooch?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah there has to be a solotion for this equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@hoa do u know what equation this is called?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to be honest, NO. can you tell me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i was asking you lol thats why theres a ? at the end of the sentence:] lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, I explain, with ANY a and b you have a "x" such that a*x = -b . if you choose a = 1 and b = 1, you have x =-1. if you choose a =2 , b =7, you have x = -7/2.... and so on. whatever a,b you choose, you always have a x satisfy each pair of a, b. therefore, it always has one solution a time. is it clear?
