Question

3x+2x=5x^2
Errors?
Correct?

Answer 1

3x+2x=5x

5x is not equal to 5x^2

correction - 3x+2x=5x

Answer 2

$3x+2x=5x^2 \\ \\ 5x=5x^2 \\ \\ x=x^2 \\ \\ x^2-x=0 \\ \\ x(x-1)=0 \\ \\ \\ \therefore\ x=0 \ \ \ ; \ \ \ x=1$

So if x = 0 or x = 1, the equation will be correct.

But x is other than 0 and 1, the equation will be wrong.

Nice question this is.

Thank you. Have a nice day. :-)
