By the reflexive property of equality, a number is equal to itself: a = a. For example, 2 = 2, 3 = 3, -3/4 = -3/4 etc.

Since x is a variable that represent numbers, then x is equal to itself: x = x.

Suppose that x = x is a false statement.

If x = 1, by the substitution property of equality, 1 can replace x.

So we have 1 = 1 which is a true satement. Therefore, x = x cannot be a false statement. Thus, x = x is true.

If: x = x

Then: x-x = 0

what divided by seven equals eight?

What divided by 7 equals 8? In other words, you have an unknown number (X), and then if you divide that X by 7 you get 8. Then what is that X? The equation to calculate what divided by 7 equals 8 is as follows: X/7 = 8 Where X is the answer. When we solve the equation by multiplying each side by 7, you get get: X = 56 Therefore, the answer to what divided by 7 equals 8 is 56.


How do you prove that xyz equals 1 if x equals logy z and y equals logz x and z equals logx y?

If xyz=1, then it is very likely that x=1, y=1, and z=1. So plug these in. 1=logbase1of1, 1=logbase1of1, 1=logbase1of1. You end up with 1=1, 1=1, and 1=1. That's your proof.
