Is the final statement true or is it false?
Have you something that results in maybe -1=5? FALSE STATEMENT, and equation from which it came has no solution.
Have you something resulting in something like 12=12, or -0.5=-0.5 ?
This would seem to indicate always true, the original equation.
Do you have example equations to start with?
