Question 73
Choose a letter x, y, z, p etc...., wherever necessary, for the unknown (variable) and write the corresponding expressions for the given statement:
Write an equation for which 0 is a solution.
Consider the equation 5x+1=1.
Subtracting 1 from both sides of the equation, we get
5x+1−1=1−1
⇒5x=0
Dividing both sides of the equation by 5, we get
5x5=05
⇒x=0
