x/6-x/8=1 it would be 0 because x has no value correct?

No.\n\nX=24\n\nGet a common denominator and multiply it by all three terms -\n\nx/6*(48) - x/8*(48) = 1*(48)\n\nsimplified becomes:\n8x - 6x = 48\n2x = 48\nx = 24\n\nIf you substitute "24" for the "x", you'll see that this solution is correct:\n\n24/6 - 24/8 = 1\n4 - 3 = 1

-56 / (-8x)\n\nyou can simplify the fraction into\n\n7x\n\nbut there's no way to find what x is because you dont have a solution to the equation.

haha, but this does not work. you cannot mathematically divide by (a-b) because this quantity is equal to 0. (1-1)=0. Dividing by zero yields an indeterminate answer.

I think this is also the 'trial and error method'\nYou will have an equation where you do not know the value of x.\nKeep on substituting different values of x into the equation until you come up with the right answer.\nIf you are lucky, you may have been told that x lies somewhere between 2 values.\nBest way to do it is to choose a number, get the answer, then choose another number a fair bit larger than the first. If the answer you want is between these 2 values, choose a number about half way between the 2 and so on.

I too failed math but to me this is a logic question:\n0+0=0\nWhat else cloud it be?

Division by zero is undefined, even if you divide zero into zero.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_by_zero

X^-n = 1/(X^n)\nso\n(-8)^-1 = 1/(-8^1) = -1/8

x + 3 >  8 ==> x >  8 - 3  ==> x > 5\nx - 4 < -2 ==> x < -2 + 4 ==> x < 2\n\nAnswer... not possible.

0/0=(1-1)/(1-1)=(1+1)*(1-1)/(1-1)=> 0/0=2\nor this:\n0/0=(4-4)/(2-2)=(2+2)*(2-2)/(2-2)=> 0/0=4\nor, maybe, this one:\n0/0=(9-9)/(3-3)=(3+3)*(3-3)/(3-3)=> 0/0=6\n.........and so one......\n\nhowever, it's not immpossible, just undefinied....

My old math teacher showed me this.\n\nSince A=B, then A-B=0, and you can't divide by 0

8x-10x > -11-1\n\n-2x > -12\n\nx < 6

It'sa simple aquation...\n\nx-4/4-x = x-1-x = x-x-1 = 0-1 = -1

6(x+4)-(6x+24)=0\n\n6x+24-6x-24=0\n\n0=0\n\nso the equation actually doesn't depend on the value of x.\nzero is always zero for whatever x you put in equation\n\nthe answer: all real numbers

-6 <= 2x-4 < 8 |:2\n-3 <= x-2 < 4   |+2\n-1 <= x < 6 \nso, x is between -1 (included) and 6 (not included)

there is no answer becuase it is impossible to divide by 0

6(2x + 8) - 6 =0\n12x + 48 - 6 = 0\n12x + 42 = 0\n12x = -42\nx = -42/12\nx = -3.5

shouldn't it be x^2??? if it IS x-squared, then sure, you could use the factorization method. \n\nit goes like this:  (6x + 1) (x - 1) = 0\n\ntherefore, x = -1/6 , 1
