\n" ); document.write( "a. The equation -7x = x has no solution
\n" ); document.write( "b. The solution to x/(x-4) = 4/(x-4) is x = 4\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "For a. I think that it is false since 0 is a solution.
\n" ); document.write( "For b. I think that it is true because 4/4-4 is 4/0 and it does equal 4/4-4 which is also 4/0 and zero is a solution.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1)
\n" ); document.write( "-7x =x
\n" ); document.write( "-7x-x =o
\n" ); document.write( "-8x=o
\n" ); document.write( "x= 0/8
\n" ); document.write( "x=o it has solution
\n" ); document.write( "2)
\n" ); document.write( "x/(x-4) = 4/(x-4)
\n" ); document.write( "by cross multiplication
\n" ); document.write( "x(x-4)=4(x-4)
\n" ); document.write( "x^2-4x=4x-16
\n" ); document.write( "x^2-8x+16=0
\n" ); document.write( "(x-4) (x-4) =0
\n" ); document.write( "(x-4)=0
\n" ); document.write( "x=4
\n" ); document.write( "yes your solution correct
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
