The Divided-Away Solution
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
The divided-away solution is the root lost when both sides of an equation are divided by the variable; division by x quietly assumes x is not zero.
Show
From x² = 5x, dividing by x leaves x = 5 — and x = 0, which checks as 0 = 0, is gone.
Builds on
- Nothing — this is a starting point.
Unlocks
- Nothing yet depends on this.
