43,826,196.898

Yes, I am going against the grain of answers but read on for an explanation.

Today we use computers to multiply large numbers. Unfortunately, computers don’t really understand or know how to store infinity (nor irrationals) and only can store finite rational numbers. Under the most common 4-byte architecture, an integer is allocated 32 bits of information, making the largest (unsigned) integer available 4,294,967,295. Adding one to the largest unsigned int overflows the allocated data, making the result loop back to zero.

Sidenote: A story about how Gangnam Style overflowed the Youtube view counter can be read here:

Gangnam Style overflows INT_MAX, forces YouTube to go 64-bit

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.

Are you talking about Buhari's health issue?

okay

X=198

Mathematically x=0 is correct

X equals 0

X=0

X is not 0. bcox 0 is a value. in this case X has no value. its an empty set

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

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

x is equal to any number, decimal or fraction but not zero. I repeat any not zero.

X = Buhari. I mean how can finding X solve the recession ish.

Na who × EPP ...na so we find am sotey for primary school .. We find am like ultimate search for secondary school .. University nko .. Mtweeeee ...We are still finding the fucccking × after nysc (i.e job)..

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

X is undefined

x=99x

Since 1x=x
Therefor X=99x

Nigerian mathematicians, we need your help to solve this puzzle!

99x ....I no sabi maths o

aanexplus:
X is undefined

X is zero bro

martinz1:
X is zero bro

1x is dollar while 99x is naira lol, hw dis one go fit buy valentine gift 4 my babe?

KillJoy62:
1x is dollar while 99x is naira lol, hw dis one go fit buy valentine gift 4 my babe?

At least u get babe wey love u, she go understand

X=1

quadratic x=1 or 99

Lol

X = 0 period.

.

1x = 99x 1x - 99x = 0 - 98x = 0 Divide both sides by -98 = x = 0/-98 x = 0

alex81:
x is not =0. putting x=0 does not satisfy d original equation.

the equation is called an undefined equation, hence doesn't really has a unique value for X.

dude, it's not an undefined equation. There is no division by zero at any point. x = 0.

.

Who X epp

.

alex81:
yeah, dats wat dey tell u in high school maths.

but dats just one way a fractional equation( equation with denominator) can be undefined. there are a few other instances too bro.

check ds link for more clarifications

,

k, if x=0, Does x=0 solve the original equation

x doesn't have a unique value!!! lobatan!!!

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.
