Think about it like this. 0+x would equal x+0 but if you did the opposite then the answer would still equal x+0 because 'x' is an indefinite number and if you times, divide, subtract or plus then it would still equal x+0 or x-0 or x*0 or x divide 0.
of course. As long as it doesn't cause you to divide by 0
x2-8x=0 ( add 8x to both sides) x2 =8x (divide by x) x=8 ( x2divided by x equals x)
No. You cannot divide by zero.
Short answer: because the entire number system would fall to pieces. Explanation: Remember that if you divide by a number: x/y=z then you must be able to multiply the divisor across: x=z*y If you divide by 0 then it would be: x/0=z and multiply the 0 to the other side: x=z*0 anything time 0 = 0 so: x=0 but what if you do 2=0? Then you have: 2/0=z 2=z*0 2=0 Obviously 2 cannot actually be equal to 0 so you can't do that. As for dividing 0/0 the reason is because anything divided by itself must equal 1: x/x=1 but if we could divide by zero then it would result in zero, so 0/0=1 AND 0/0=0 since it can't be both you can't do that.

No; they are not equal.
divide by 3. (x+2) (x-2) = 0 set both equal to 0 x= -2 and x= 2
x2-8x=0 ( add 8x to both sides) x2 =8x (divide by x) x=8 ( x2divided by x equals x)
No. You cannot divide by zero.

Undefined: You cannot divide by zero
If x^2 = 0, x = 0 Only 0^2 can equal 0.
Any number you Divide or Multiply by 0, will always Equal 0.
Anything to the power 0 is 1. Using the laws of powers to get to x to the power n-1 from x to the power n you divide by n; eg to get 4 squared (16) from 4 cubed (64) you divide 64 by 4. If you start with x to the power 1 and want x to the power zero, you divide by x. And x divided by x is 1.
3x + x - 4 = 0 Add all the 'x'. Hence 4x - 4 = 0 Add '4' to both sides 4x = 4 Divide both sides by '4' x = 1
