Algebra.Com's Answer #429909 by jam123(18)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 6 or -6 \n" ); document.write( "6-6 = 6-6 and \n" ); document.write( "6--6 (I moved over -6) = 6--6 \n" ); document.write( "Let's try making a to something like 5. \n" ); document.write( "So, 5-6 =/= 6-5. \n" ); document.write( "Is prince_abubu right about the 6-a = 6-a can be possible? \n" ); document.write( "Let's see. \n" ); document.write( "-1=/=1 (the equation above solved) \n" ); document.write( "We'll get the same answer if prince_abubu is right...wait, \n" ); document.write( "if 6-5=6-5 \n" ); document.write( "then \n" ); document.write( "1=1! \n" ); document.write( "Wrong answer! \n" ); document.write( "Let's try again. \n" ); document.write( "Let's say that a-6 is -6a and 6-a is 6a. \n" ); document.write( "-6a =/= 6a \n" ); document.write( "BUT \n" ); document.write( "-6a=-6a. \n" ); document.write( "and \n" ); document.write( "6a=6a \n" ); document.write( "Maybe, but I don't think there is an answer to this. \n" ); document.write( " |
