You can put this solution on YOUR website!
What is x if x=2, x=x+5. Solve. I don't think it's possible, am I right?
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "The confusion here is you want to know the NEW value of \"x\" but you represent it as the same identity as \"x\" too.
\n" ); document.write( "To re-phrase the question (I'm not questioning your teacher):
\n" ); document.write( "What is \"x%5B2%5D\" if \"x%5B1%5D=2\" in eqn \"x%5B2%5D=x%5B1%5D%2B5\"?
\n" ); document.write( "Then you can solve it. Continuing,
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5B2%5D=2%2B5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5B2%5D=7\" -----------> final answer
