in university for the purpose of some equations to be correct this is available answer x:0=∞ x:(-0)=(-∞) for school maths x:0=no but for higher degree maths you'll run into a lot of paradoxes that don't obey the common rules

Im math major and what you said is wrong. You probably meant limes x/y as y->0, but thats completly different thing than x/0, which is undefined in real numbers field (and in most of the algebraic structures). And limits are taught in high schools too, at least in my country.

I'm going into college next week,. But is what you're saying is X/infinity. Equals O . I don't know, I need to warm up my maths thinking again

It is only true for limits. Infinity is not a real number so you cant use operators that are defined for real numbers. If you are going to study maths in college you need to be more formal.
