Question 987457: Suppose you want to solve the equation 2a + b = 2a, where a and b are nonzero real numbers. Describe the solution to this equation. Justify your description. Answer by josgarithmetic(39838) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! b=0 is the only solution, contrary to the conditions you stated. Otherwise, no solution for this equation. You cannot isolate the variable a; its solution value can be anything, but you still find b=0.
