Question

Solve the following:x-2/4=x-1/5

Answer 1

Answer:

The solution x = 0 means that the value 0 satisfies the equation, so there is a solution. “No solution” means that there is no value, not even 0, which would satisfy the equation. ... This is because there is truly no solution—there are no values for x that will make the equation true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's the thing let's assume it to be a simple equation for e.g., x-1 = x-2 . In this case it so obvious x can't be a assigned a certain value in the number system.

In the above case,the reduced form will look like

x-0.5 = x-0.2 (cause 2/4=1/2=0.5 and 1/5=0.2) .

Therefore there's no x for which this equation holds true.

Answer 2

Answer:

x  =   $\frac{3}{10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

x-2/4  =  x-1/5

x - 2/4 - x - 1/5 = 0

x  = 1/2 - 1/5

x  =   $\frac{3}{10}$
