If zero is known as the trivial solution, what happens when x = 1? Can you show me how to solve this step by step? Thank you.

You have to have a specific problem for this. I have looked at your thread, I see no relevant question for x=1 that makes sense.

where this was discussed.

To solve the equation when x = 1, we need to substitute the value of x into the equation and then simplify. Let's assume we have the equation:

0x = 0

Step 1: Substitute x = 1 into the equation:

0(1) = 0

Step 2: Simplify the expression:

0 = 0

Step 3: Analyze the solution:

When we substitute x = 1, we get an equation that is always true. This is because any number multiplied by 0 will always give us 0. Therefore, in this case, x = 1 is not a unique solution but rather satisfies the equation for any value of x.

In summary, when x = 1, the equation simplifies to 0 = 0, which means that x = 1 is not a special or unique solution but rather satisfies the equation for all values of x.
