You should be able to solve this:

x - 7 = 19 + x

Name: Anonymous 2007-03-01 13:03 ID:Heaven

x - 7 = 19 + x
x - x = 19 + 7
0 = 26
Zero solutions.

(x - 7) / (x + 19) = 0
x = infinity

You suck at this.

First of all if you were to divide both sides by (x + 19) then you would end up with a one on the right. Secondly, the statement '(x - 7)/(x + 9) = 0' doesn't have 'x = infinity', it has 'x = 7'.

x - 7 = 19 + x
-7=19 (by reducing x) The equation doesn't hold.

Yea, basically they are two straight lines parallel to each other, but shifted by either - 7 or 19. It's common sense that they will never be equal.

One could use a second variable to further explain. Consider "y = x - 7" when drawn on the x-y coordinate plane. As you can see it is a straight line parallel to "y = x" but shifted down by 7 units. Now consider the line "y = x + 19" when drawn on the x-y coordinate plane. This one will be parallel to "y = x" and also parallel to "y = x - 7" but it will be shifted up (from "y = x") by 19 units. The lines never intersect, therefore x will never coincide in both statements making them true.
