Bahddo:
mathematics is based on principles that are the same everywhere, whether in high school or a maths professor's thesis.

I'm amused you even post that link. I hope you noticed that they said "division by zero is one of the few cases where a true undefined occurs." Now read it carefully, and tell me how it supports your claim that the expression stated in the op is undefined.

All equations have their left hand side (lhs) equal to the right hand side (rhs). If x = 0, then the lhs = rhs. ie 0 = 0

When it is 1, we have 1 = 99.

The lhs is only equal to the rhs when x = 0. That's the only value that satisfies the equation.

point noted

at first glance infinity is the answer but lemme see what u have up ur sleeves

x= 1, 99

martinz1:
X is zero bro
0=99x-1x
0=(99-1)x
0=98x
X=0

Wrong! (In Trump's voice)

In my own opinion and in my little mathematics exposure,

X is undefined if X is calculated in advance mathematics theory, that is

1x=99×;
98×=0
× = 0/98 ...... This an undefined answer.

but in ordinary ( linear) mathematics, x= 0.


The term "undefined" is used in advanced algebra.


The answer to X depends on the type of topic or theory u are treating.

Y do u say its wrong
There is nothing wrong there bro
Prove me wrong

X is undefined

stfu x is zero simple

1x is same as x. Since 1x = 99x, it therefore means that x=99x

Chai. You don fall my hand o. Equating x and 99x as final answer is a disgrace to that equality sign in between them.

this is called algebra..right??..

i had it in school...but i hated it...

and none of the people above read what the op wrote

Adding 43,826,196.898 to itself 99 times (then casting to unsigned int) will result in an overflow loop, resulting in.. the original number.

Simplifying 1x = 99x

Solving 1x = 99x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-99x' to each side of the equation. 1x + -99x = 99x + -99x

Combine like terms: 1x + -99x = -98x -98x = 99x + -99x

Combine like terms: 99x + -99x = 0 -98x = 0

Divide each side by '-98'. x = 0

Simplifying x = 0

1x=99x find x

substract 99x frm both side
1x-99x=99x-99x

we have -98x=0

divide both side by -98

-98x/-98=0/-98

we have

x=0

Simplifying 1x = 99x Solving 1x = 99x Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-99x' to each side of the equation. 1x + -99x = 99x + -99x Combine like terms: 1x + -99x = -98x -98x = 99x + -99x Combine like terms: 99x + -99x = 0 -98x = 0 Divide each side by '-98'. x = 0 Simplifying x = 0

X is undefined

Bless you!

People here are assuming that once you move one of the x's to the other side, the value on the side automatically reverts to zero but it ain't so!

1x = 99x.

If X is moved; then
X € not R ; therefore X is undefined or infinity!!
