Equation at the end of step 1:

Step 2:

Equations which are never true:

Solve : 3 = 0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

Solve : w+9 = 0

Subtract 9 from both sides of the equation :

w = -9

One solution was found :

w = -9
