Question

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

Answer 1

The related multiplication equation is 5=0 or
`(5)/(0)=n`.

Explanation:

The given equation is

`(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.

`(5)/(n)* n=0* 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.
