x = 2.077(0.481x)
x = 0.999x
how would i solve for x?
You cant. If the numbers are exactly .999, then the only way for this to be true is x=0. If the .999 is approximate (ie rounded), x can be any number, real or imaginary.
what if it was something like:
2.038x = 5.381x?
Then x=0 is the solution.
To solve for x in the given equations, we can follow these steps:
1. Equation 1: x = 2.077(0.481x)
To simplify this equation, first distribute 2.077 to 0.481x:
x = 0.9998377x
Subtract 0.9998377x from both sides:
x - 0.9998377x = 0
Combine like terms on the left side:
0.0001623x = 0
Divide both sides by 0.0001623:
x = 0 / 0.0001623
x equals to 0.
2. Equation 2: x = 0.999x
Subtract 0.999x from both sides:
x - 0.999x = 0
Combine like terms on the left side:
0.001x = 0
Divide both sides by 0.001:
x = 0 / 0.001
x equals to 0.
Therefore, in both equations, the value of x is 0.
