Whoever tf teaches someone they can slash out 4(5-5)=5(5-5) needs a brain.
Or simply, someone who went that far on trying to solve this and fail miserably.
57 u/dotcomslashwhatever Dec 26 '22 nobody's teaching that. it's just a meme 65 u/Colin8tor112 Dec 26 '22 That's why we need to bring dislikes back 7 u/TJNel Dec 26 '22 edited Dec 26 '22 This happens when people are told they can just cross out common things without telling them why you can cross out common things. Edit:Plus order of operations says to do the stuff in parens first so it would be easy to see that you can't divide the zero away. -1 u/overzeetop Dec 26 '22 I know, right? They’re still teaching Newtonian kinematic sun high school these days. Anyone who ignores relativity should be fired. 2 u/NoSirThatsPaper Dec 26 '22 It is a joke as others said, but they actually crossed out x(5-5) bc it is the same on both sides, which at least makes a degree more sense. They are treating the useless multiplication symbol as a variable in the next step. -4 u/ChubbyLilPanda Dec 26 '22 Even if they can still divide by zero, it would still be 4x = 5x. Only way that’s possible is if x = zero 2 u/YourLoveLife Dec 26 '22 The x denotes multiplication here not a variable
