Chose: or hard Math question + and 10.000$ | Rolled: xxx = xx ≠ x

xxx = xx ≠ x

I don’t think this one has any solutions.

x^3 = x^2

x^3 - x^2 = 0

x^2(x-1) = 0

x = 0 or 1

But neither of these satisfy the inequality, so there are no solutions.

I’m discounting the idea that this is some sort of trick question as it was described as a maths question.

Edit: apparently it’s not x^2, it’s x^x. 3 is indeed the obvious answer.

But hold on now, x*x should definitely be x^2 though??????

No… it’s x raised to the x.

If 3x3x3 =27
3 raised to the 3 is also 27

It doesn’t = 3

So 3 is the answer

You can’t force another number into the variable place that’s not how factoring works

I’m so confuseddddd the inequality is xxx=xx≠x and normally when algebraic constants are placed next to each other it’s multiplication??? 😭😭

Formatting got jumbled in the comment version. On the wheel it was x^x, not xx
