Question

Use a related multiplication equation to show why the equation 5n=0 5 n = 0 has no solution.

Answer 1

Answer:

The related multiplication equation is 5=0 or $\frac{5}{0}=n$.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

$\frac{5}{n}=0$

According to the Multiplication Property of Equality, a = b and ca = cb are equivalent equations. Where a, b and c are real numbers.

Multiply both the sides by n in the given equation.

$\frac{5}{n}\times n=0\times n$

$5=0$

The above statement is not true for angle value of n, because it is free from n.

Hence prove that the given equation has no solution.
