The equation has no solution.
Example Question #34 : How To Find The Solution To An Equation
Solve for :
The goal of solving an equation is to solve for the variable. In order to do this, we must isolate the variable on one side of the equal sign with all other numbers on the other side of the equal side. When doing this, you reverse the usual order of operations so that subtraction and addition come first. Therefore we must remove the 5 first. In order to do this, you do the opposite operation. Since the opposite of subtraction is addition, we add 5 to each side of the equation.
-5 plus 5 cancel each other out. What is left should be this
Next, since represents a multiplication problem, we divide by 2 in order to find out what is.
Which should give you
The answer is
Example Question #32 : Ssat Middle Level Quantitative (Math)

Example Question #40 : How To Find The Solution To An Equation
If for all values of , then what is the value of ?
1
2
0
1
Let's get rid of the denominator by multiplying both sides of the equation by :
Divide both sides of the equation by :
If this method is confusing to you, you can also find the answer without doing any calculations. The equation is really saying that divided by some quantity is still . This is only true if is divided by 1. Any other number would change the value of .
