If an equation works out to 5x = 0, or any constant and variable equal to zero, is the answer always 0?
-----------
The answer depends on the question.
5x = 0 is not a question, it's an equation.
-----
If it's solve for x, the solution is x = 0.
----
If 5x = 0
Divide by 5.
x = 0/5
x = 0
----
If Ax = 0 where A is a constant <> 0, then x = 0.
