>tfw you work through a big Algebra problem just to end up with: x = x #ProbablyRelatablePossibly

    I'm too young to know algrebra how do I know this?

    Probably not, though I'm not a neurologist. You just have the knowledge of how it works, which people of your age group might not have.

    But in the equation you posted X is no longer a variable as when you claw the 2 and 3 it becomes 6x on both sides. In that instance it just cancels out.

    @Death Brain size does not usually correspond with intelligence, although you were probably joking But no, this problem doesn't involve transposing (ie, 3x - 4 = 2x --> 4 = 2x - 3x) so you could solve this without using algebraic concepts.

    Yeahs1

    When it becomes 6x = 6x, and thus x = x, x can have any possible value, therefore it is still a variable. This equation has an infinite number of solutions for x. One way this can be seen is that when graphed, both graphs have the same equation, meaning x can still have any value.

    If that's the case, then most of this Algebra book isn't really an Algebra book. Darn..

    It's still an algebra problem. All that's required is for it to be a linear equation (I think). It doesn't have to contain transposing to be an algebra problem

    Ah, yeah you're right. I'm not sure if I'm doing this right since my equations are all more complicated then this, but I believe if you rearrange it all to one side it also becomes -1/3 or -1/2 depending on what you're looking for.

    Yeahs1

  • Patrick

    04/27/2017 8:36 PM ·Spoilers

    Well, x can be -1/3. Or -1/12. Yay, infinte solutions. //very lame and sad party popper

    No I mean as definite answers, or x-intercepts. I could be wrong. I know with the equation 0 = 6x^2 - 13x + 6 Becomes (2x-3)(3x-2) and thus the answers for X are both 3/2 and 2/3. So I'm thinking its a similar process. Could be wrong.

    Yeahs1

    The problem with that is that this isn't a quadratic function; it's linear. 2(3x+1) = 6x+2 which is a linear equation. You might just be overcomplicating things, but I don't know your life.

    Yeahs0

  • Fëanor

    04/27/2017 8:49 PM ·Spoilers

    No, you're right. I'm prolly over complicating it. I've been doing factoring and quadratic equations for the past half a year, so it's pretty hard to think in other terms.

    Yeahs1

  • Patrick

    04/27/2017 8:49 PM ·Spoilers

    So am I, but the book sprang a bunch of linear functions at me. Yay, parabolas!
