Question

40 POINTS! If (50)x = 1, what are the possible values of x? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

One possible value only

• 50x=1
• x=1/50

If we turn decimal

• x=1×2/50×2
• x=2/100
• x=0.02

Answer 2

50x=1

x = 1/50

Assuming the question is 50x=1, and asking what values of x are true, then solving for x will give us 1/50.

Also plugging 1/50 into the equation will get us 1 as-well. 1/50(50) = 1

1=1 True
