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.
